Merry Christmas!!!
This year was the first Christmas that Santa made an official visit to our home and left presents out for Emmy and Calvin. We enjoyed a Christmas church service in the morning before we opened our gifts. It was exciting to watch Emmy's progression from giddy anticipation in her room, to all out jubilant excitement when we set her loose into the living room. She got a table and chair for our balcony, and a bubble machine! Calvin got an activity mat with some dangling toys for him to reach for. They both seemed content with their gifts.
Emmy immediately wanted to test out her bubble machine. She was not disappointed.
Emmy has become a pro at unwrapping gifts. Each time she unwrapped something she immediately wanted to play with it. It was almost a chore to convince her to open the rest of her presents. One of her favorites was a new pizza set to go with her play kitchen. She spent a lot of the morning making the family some yummy pizza.
She also received some special jewelry from Grandma Buzz. She wanted to wear it the rest of the day and kept repeating how "beautiful" it was.
Calvin broke in his new activity mat, but mostly just napped the day away.
If he wasn't sleeping on the mat, he was sleeping in Dad's arms.
If he wasn't sleeping on the mat or in Dad's arms, he was sleeping on Mom and Dad's bed.
If he wasn't sleeping on the mat, in Dad's arms, or on Mom and Dad's bed, he was snuggled up with Emmy in her bed!
All in all it was a fun day. I had to sneak in a picture of my gift for Cory. She loves all the pet names I have for her...maybe...I haven't actually asked her how she feels about them.
A little blurry, but here is a picture of the whole family ready for church. We are so grateful for our Savior and His life, which makes it possible for us to live as a family for eternity. Merry Christmas!
