Christmas Day

Better late than never, I guess :)  We were so thrilled to be able spend Christmas morning in our new house!  We moved on December 21st and were settled enough to celebrate at home.
I didn't charge our video camera the night before, because it indicated the battery was half full.  Not so.  Sadly, this was all I was able to get and most of it is my own annoying voice.


Miller was so excited to see everything waiting for him and for Jacob.
 This sweet baby had a great first Christmas!
 Bryant was pumped about his new ornament ;)
After a few gifts, we sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus with the cake Santa left.
 Somehow we made it through all of the gifts before Miller noticed this...
 We had to run out and check it out right away!
 
Unfortunately, we haven't been able to play on this much with all of the rain, but Miller has loved it when we've had the chance to play.  Hopefully by Spring we'll have pea gravel, a fence, and some plants in!

After playing, we went in for breakfast, Jesus' birthday cake, and to get ready for the rest of the day.  I had to get a shot of the chaotic aftermath!

After a little cleanup, went to Bryant's parents' house for lunch and gifts.  Miller loved his big wheel from Nana and Papa and his sleeping bag from Betty Jo!
Jacob got plenty of loot, too!
Apparently Betty Jo needed a little help with her gifts.

It was a wonderful Christmas and so much fun to see Miller not only enjoy all of the festivities, but also begin to understand the meaning behind it all. It's a little sad that it's all over, but also nice to get back to a normal routine.  Next year I vow to charge the video camera, take a family picture, take a picture of the boys before they come downstairs, and maybe brush Miller's hair at some point in the day.  :)  We hope you had a blessed Christmas as well!
