We were very lucky this year to have a WONDERFUL Christmas! We were able to stay at home with the kids, Gabe got 4 days off, and we were able to have lots of our family here to celebrate with us. Noah finally got the concept of what Christmas was all about this year. We spent Christmas eve as a family, went to the Christmas pageant service at our church, then over for soup at Gabe's boss' home. On Christmas Day we may have set a record for the longest time to open presents... 3 days!! By Sunday morning we were forcing Noah to open the last of the presents under the tree so we could take it down. The up side was that he really enjoyed every gift and insisted on opening and playing with it right away. And I mean everything, he even insisted on taking a pretend nap in his sleeping bag. We then had lots of family here for a great Christmas meal and company. Needless to say, I only remembered to take a few pics, the last several were actually 3 days later when all of the presents were finally open.
