Christmas 2009

What a wonderful Christmas! We were blessed to celebrate 5 times with different family members. The kids were in heaven and we loved watching every moment of their childish wonder. I remember that feeling like it was yesterday so it's nice to live vicariously through their eyes once again. We had a few mishaps which resulted in calling Santa and temporarily removing presents from under the tree. However, they redeemed themselves and the jolly big man was
quite good to them.

Our first celebration was the Loehr/Reeves Christmas gathering. We got together on Sunday, December 20 while Amanda was still in town. We got to spend a lot of quality time with Amanda. The kids just love her and she is so good with them.
