A snapshot of the tree and stockings
The table was set for our yummy Prime Rib Christmas Eve dinner. Notice the newly recovered chairs!
We've been married nine years and this was only the second time we've used our fine china!
We're carrying on my family's tradition of the kids getting new Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve and perhaps starting a new tradition of getting to open a new book as well.
Each night in December Daniel went through the Christmas story with the boys. By the time Christmas Eve was here Aden knew it really well! It is so precious to hear his little voice fill in the blanks with key words like, "Mary", "Wise Men", "worship", "Jesus", etc. And of course, it's equally precious to hear Jonathan say, "baybee", "baybee", "baybee" over and over again as he points to Jesus. What a blessing to have a husband who lovingly invests this time each night into our boys' lives. Because of this I am confident that they will have a firm grasp of the true meaning of Christmas at a very early age.
Aden was thrilled when he opened the "BIG present" (it came in a big box) and found that it was his very own lawn mower! Here's a picture of Jonathan giving it a whirl. Thanks Mom and Jesse for such a fun gift for our Aden boy!
Here's Jon Jon loading up his shopping cart. He loves it! Thank you Grammy and Grandpoo!
The boys have been busy "shopping" and "mowing the lawn" since Christmas morning!
But of course, there's nothing like the excitement and entertainment that comes from a big empty box converted into a tunnel and an empty wrapping paper roll to make you wonder if the $ spent on expensive toys was worth it.

Wow, you were busy last night! Beautiful pics Aim! And I noticed the newly re-covered chairs before I even read your caption! How fun! And your mantle looks beautiful...very creative! Love you and miss you guys!
What a great post! I love that the boys played with the box so much. Chloe's favorite part of Christmas was the bows on the presents!!
