Christmas 2010

Another Christmas season survived!  We had a wonderful Christmas amidst all the hustle and bustle.  Jacob was super exciting to buy for this year and to watch open his gifts.  He has a very complete and full understanding of what a wrapped package means and a very complete and full understanding of how to open a wrapped package.  Lots of fun!! 


We were able to avoid the whole Santa Claus thing for the most part, but we will have to be prepared next year with a plan!  Here is an interesting article that my sister and brother-in-law sent me that I think provides a really creative solution.  Check it out at:  http://onfaith.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/panelists/mark_driscoll/2010/12/what_we_tell_our_kids_about_santa.html?hpid=talkbox1. 


Here is a brief pictoral look at our Christmas morning.

I think this face says it all.
