Okay, forgetting that it's January already... here's our Christmas post!
We had a fabulous time. Mia had more fun opening her presents this year (as opposed to last year, when she either slept or cried, lol) and she had so much fun hanging out with everyone. Mark and I have been so blessed with amazing family and friends who made this Christmas amazing. Possibly the best ever.
We talked a lot this year about how amazing Christmas is. Usually, Easter is the more focused-on Christian holiday. As it should be, given that's when Jesus died for us. But really... look at what happened at Christmas. A virgin birth. Mary not being stoned for being in her "condition." The King of Kings being born in a manger... showing that he's the "every man" king. Being rescued from a maniac king. A star shining brightly, leading Magi to the manger. Shepherds being greeted by angels. Talk about miracles. You can't write a story like that. You know its God working when so many miracles come together at once. It always makes me marvel at the awesomeness of God.
But anyway... on to what you really came here for -- Pictures!
(dude, if you only knew how hard it was to choose only a handful...)
Whatever Grampy is saying... Mia thinks its pretty funny!
Mommy, can I open my presents now, please?
Cloe, this is the sound an elephant makes.... *insert elephant-like noise here*
Mia loooooved the fact that her legos included a present. A present in a present! You can open it all the time!
Grammy & her girls
Chillin' at Momo's. Best seat in the house (she's not spoiled at all, is she?).
The girls at Nonnie & Granddad's. Abby and I didn't get the memo as to which camera to look.
Mia is just about done...
Mia caught her second wind (or third, or fourth).
Wee! A butterfly! In a book! It doesn't get much better than that.
Yay! Plastic fruit! Can you open this, please?
Rubber ducks are the best!
The hippo laughs! Just like me! That's the funniest thing I've seen all day!
Forget the ABC book... look I have paper!
Heh, a Zebra that bounces and spins! Fun!
Christmas is the best ever!
