well, after a month full of making cookies, watching christmas movies, reading christmas stories, shopping for gifts, and decorating, the fun of christmas has proven to be exciting and crazy at our house! we've now had christmas with the larrison extended family at my cousin kelli's house where santa came and visited. i don't think caleb ever stopped talking to him :) then we had christmas with the teipens down at their house. my kids absolutely love their cousins and enjoyed every minute of playing with their new toys together. then we had christmas at our house after going downtown on christmas eve to see the pretty lights. i hope the zoo parking lot didn't mind some extra moisture on the ground as we had to make an emergency little boy X 2 pee pee stop! santa spoiled the boys, of course, and even left some surprises for mom & dad too this year. we have one more christmas left at my parent's house which will make for another house full of lots of fun toys, i'm sure! despite the chaos of toys, stockings, candy, etc, the boys are very mindful of why we're celebrating christmas and often talk about jesus' birthday and why God sent him to us. it's quite precious and i'm so thankful that we live somewhere safe where we can celebrate and talk about jesus! merry christmas!!
