Christmas 2009

This was Christmas part one. We had Christmas with Gavin's kids on the Sunday before Christmas, then Christmas day with our 3 boys and soon part three will take place when Gavin's parents come.

Drew put himself to bed so he is missing from this picture. I'll have to take a 'pretend' shot so he's in it.

Last but not least, my adorable husband with one of his many odd shirts. This one is called Eskimo Garden.

This year has been a great one. We have had so much fun spreading Christmas out. Although by the 28th the Christmas tree was down and my living room was back to normal. Gavin's parents will be joining us for the New Year for a couple days. It's been fun watching the kids open their gifts. But the Highlight of our Christmas was Drew waking us up on Christmas Morning at 1:30 asking us to open a package. When we walk out into the living room where here Ethan in his room so we go into inspect. Drew had given Ethan gifts through his crib to open and Drew had opened all of his gifts. We ended up waking Austin up at 1:30 in the morning to open his gifts and we all went back to bed. It was quite the morning. Not at all what we expected for Christmas but one full of memories.

Most importantly through this season we have felt the blessing of our Lord and Savior. We are thankful for his birth and his atoning sacrifice. Merry Christmas to all! And have a great New Year!!!
