Christmas 2010

Though we've been married for almost five years now, this was the first time we've actually hosted Christmas.  My parents, Kari, and Mark came up to Cleveland for a few days and we all had a great time.  What made it especially fun was Luke's excitement for anything and everything to do with Christmas, whether it was the Christmas tree, lights, Santa, presents... and even egg nog.  Seriously, the kid couldn't get enough of the egg nog. 

Pictures do a better job of telling the story than me, so here we go...

Shocking I know, but we had a White Christmas here in Cleveland.  Here's Grandma getting nailed with a a snowball, courtesy of Luke...

He thought it was pretty funny...

On Christmas Eve, we had a little program where we sang some carols, read the story of Jesus' birth in the Bible, watched a short DVD about the Nativity, and then let the boys see their new stockings (made by their Grammy!) and open their Christmas Eve present (pj's!). 

It's safe to say that Christmas day was a success with the boys, they thoroughly enjoyed opening all their presents. 

Not surprisingly, Leo was content enough to just play with the wrapping and packaging!

And there we have it... the Christmas post only a month late!
