A Christmas Recap

Well, we made it through the Christmas Extravaganza! :) Three full days of Christmas celebrations. It just takes that long to get around to all our family. We are just so loved, it's wonderful! Evan got sick, poor thing, on Christmas day but with a good night's sleep his fever was gone the next morning. He really got the hang of opening up his gifts. My Dad only had to show him once how to rip open the ends and every other gift he knew just what to do. He's so smart. He now has an array of new toys to play with thanks to everyone's generosity.

I got a new digital camera (point and shoot) that has twice the megapixels of my old one and a bigger zoom capability. And it's pink! Thanks Dad and Leslie! Evan had gotten a hold of my old camera and ripped the slide cover off, and it hasn't worked the same since...the lens wouldn't go down on it's own and I couldn't view the photos I'd taken just to name a few issues. So a new camera was much needed because I'm a big picture taker!

Here's a photo recap of our 3 days of Christmas. I took A LOT of photos so these are just a few highlights. You can check out more on Facebook.

Day 1 - Christmas Eve with my Dad and Leslie

"You can play with the toys. I'm taking a break!"

Always a silly boy!

Day 2 - Christmas Day with the Posey's

Opening his big gift from Santa (at home before we left to go to my in-laws)
- a kid table and chairs

I love that he loved playing with the cups and straws we got him.
Practical gifts he needed anyway! :) And yes, Brad was feeling his head as he was warm and had a fever.
