Christmas Eve 2008

Well, it's finally here...I can't believe that it's Christmas already. This is a very special Christmas because it's Micah's FIRST Christmas. He's super excited about everything, and he LOVES getting into stuff...so it should be an interesting holiday!

Today Grandma and Granddaddy came over to give the boys their gifts. We thought it would be better to do today so that they won't be so overwhelmed tomorrow when we go have lunch with my family. Caleb and Micah both racked up, and they had a great time hanging out with my parents.

Caleb is all smiles!

Micah had a blast playing with the paper.

This evening we had supper, gave the boys baths, and then opened up stockings. This is a tradition that Brian and I started once we got married. So, we've continued to implement it each year. Caleb always loves getting into his stocking, and Micah had a good time, too.

We hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season. Also, take the time to think about the true meaning of Christmas. Without the birth of our Savior, there would be no Christmas. So, remember HE is the reason for the season. Happy holidays to all of you!
