Christmas

Well, I think that all in all Christmas was a huge success for our family this year! We were truly blessed to be able to spend the holiday together. Ian spent Christmas Eve at his mom's house, so that he could wake up with his brother Henry. This was the first year that's been able to happen,m and since chances are, Isaac wouldn't be as much fun, we thought Ian would have a better, more memorable time over there.

Isaac gave me the greatest gift of all, and slept until after 8:00am! Which in itself was simply amazing.

Once Ian and Henry had their Christmas morning together, he and his mom headed over to our house for breakfast. It was really nice having us all together, I mean isn't that what the holidays are all about?

Alecia stayed and helped Isaac open his stocking, which was adorable and fun. After that we headed in to the living room, and let the present opening commence! We had no doubts that Ian would make out like a bandit, Santa must have him on the tippity top of his nice list. I'd like to think that our homemade holiday goodies helped do the trick, those candy cane brownies were clutch!

After a few naps, and a few dozen new toys were opened and played with, we headed over t my parents. My brother had been waiting for us very patiently I must say.

By the end of the day Isaac pretty much grasped the concept of opening a present. He'd grab hold of a little tear on the package, then start flapping his arms! Hilarious approach, but incredibly efective!

It was really a wonderful Christmas.
