Christmas 2011

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year. I can't believe it has already come and gone. So many memories, where to start? This year Samantha and Cole were very into learning all kinds of new Christmas traditions like words to new songs (12 days of Christmas, Jingle Bells, Hark the Harold Angels Sing,etc), they sang at our church for everyone-super duper cute, sat on Santa's lap at the preschool excitedly-no one was crying or scared this year,and of course one of our favorite traditions-driving around at night looking at lights and finding our favorite houses. So much fun.
Christmas Eve was spent with family. Grammie and Grandpa came from Rio Rico and went to Aunt Gwen's open house with us, we went to church and walked around one of our favorite neighborhoods. Then we came home, got Santa's plate ready and said good night. Samantha was so excited when I put her to bed. She said, "Mommy, it's practically Christmas!!!! I can't wait to see what Santa brings me!!!" Precious.
Christmas Day was spent opening presently with glee. Cole loved it, as opposed to last year where he opened 3 gifts and quit. Then we went to Grandma and Granpa's and hung out with them for a while. When we came back home we enjoyed a wonderful dinner together and that was that.
Can't believe another Christmas has come and gone. Thank you Lord, for sending your son. May we honor you this year with our words and actions.

Happy New Year!
