It Was A Holly Jolly Christmas For Sure!

Christmas dinner is so much fun when you have a sweet Christmas bib to wear!

I am a bit embarrhassed by the amount of goodies in this photo so I must explain that these were not all Christmas gifts....many were toys we have had that just had to be played with today as well :)!

Ok, seriously...have you ever seen a more precious face???



Look at our big boy - standing without any help!!!

Santa brought Rhonald ... I mean Cole ... an early gift this year. We bought an aquarium and both of the boys are IN LOVE with it. I have been enjoying it so much too but I think they are obsessed! It is so relaxing and fun to watch. And if you ask Cole "where are the fish?" he crawls over to the aquarium and points....so sweet!


We had such a wonderful first Christmas with Cole this year! Above are pictures that we took trying to capture the fun we have had! We kept saying how strange it was to think about last Christmas when we were wishing and hoping for him to make his first appearance into this world...how nervous and excited we were to meet him face to face! Now, we know everything about this sweet boy and cannot imagine life without him! Last night Rhonald stayed up putting together a few toys for Cole and I stuffed his stocking (and Mason's too of course). He loved the stocking...taking things out of containers is a big deal to him right now so that was right up his alley. I think he was a bit overwhelmed with the toys and the unwrapping but he did well and seemed to love everything he got! It was so much fun watching him take everything in today! We were lucky to have Rhonald's mom and dad here with us this year and I know they loved sharing the day with Cole as well. We had a huge dinner (which Cole also loved) and then we all settled down for a long afternoon nap! Tonight Rhonald and I took Cole out to look at Christmas lights - I think he fell asleep about 30 mins into the adventure but hey --- at least we can say we did it! I included the last picture to let you know that Cole loved every card we received so if you sent one to us I promise it was looked at at least 1 million times! There is so much more to share but I am exhausted! We hope that your holiday was amazing and we look forward to hearing all about it soon! Merry Christmas!

He is so gorgeous Jen. I especially love the golfer hat and matching pants. Sooo preppy! Miss you tons, I can't believe it's already time for me to go back to school. I kept meaning to find time to scrapbook, but it hasn't really happened. Oh well, maybe spring break!
