Christmastime

We had a great Christmas and enjoyed the Christmas spirit this whole month. We had wonderful Secret Santa items given to us, and I hope that we were able to teach our kids about the true meaning of Christmas. We are very blessed. So many people touched our lives and our hearts this season. We had Christmas morning as our little family, and then Steve and Debbie came over for breakfast. Then after a leisurely day (including naps for everyone!)we went to Tami's for an amazing dinner and a ton of fun. Here's a snippet of the wonderful gifts we received that were of a tangible nature.

Videos for the grandparents to see (must go to blog to see video):

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Chase! Both gifts are perfect and they even share them with each other too.

This video was meant to capture Scout opening her presents,but was kind of over-shadowed by Lincoln opening one of his own from Santa.


Thank you Grandpa Walter!
They opened the main present last, so they didn't figure out what it was until the end. Both of them love it!


Lincoln was beyond excited when he saw that Santa had brought him this firefighter costume. He told me it looks like Daddy's. When I asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, it changed. He said, "A firefighter, like Daddy. And spiderman, batman, and superman...and Diego." Did anyone else know that Diego was a superhero?
