White Christmas

Today has been magical. We greeted Everett this morning with his new Thomas the Train. He was so excited!

Morning festivities continued as we ate orange rolls and opened stockings......

Everett was so thrilled with each item. "Wow look at these crayons!" "Wow. Fruit snacks!" He also got a miniature Slinky, lip balm, and chocolate in his stocking. I think he was the most excited about the lip balm and kept offering us some throughout the day. We caught him several times licking it, so we never obliged.


We then opened a couple of gifts.

Everett loved tearing up the paper.

Hampton decided that today he was going to try extra hard at this crawling thing. He actually started scooting and army crawling!
We love soups, so today we decided to make two different kinds: mushroom wild rice consomme and French onion. They were both so good!



As if Christmas wasn't going any better, it started snowing! A white Christmas! Eric measured and we were at almost 4 inches by noon! It kept snowing heavily throughout the day.


I think Hampton had a good first Christmas.



The boys ended the day with their favorite thing: a bubble bath!


Today was full of memory-making, relaxing, playing, eating, and fun. I am trying to cherish each moment as so many tell me it goes by fast. Merry Christmas!!!
