We Had a very merry little christmas!


Merry Christmas to all who read this....we had a great one this year!!!! During the Holidays we go back and forth between my family and Justin's for Christmas and Thanksgiving, this year we spent the merry holiday with my family since we were with Justin's for Turkey day. Christmas 2007 was particularly fun because Hudson finally understood the concept of Santa Clause! He woke up super early and eagerly woke up everyone else so we could go down stairs to see what Santa had Brought. It was so fun reliving the excitement I had once felt as a kid through my own son! Hudson kept saying over and over again, "Santa Came, Santa Came! Down the chimney! Bring choo-choo trains!!!" That's all he wanted, choo-choo trains....even though he already had about thirty Thomas Trains! Here's a list of each of our big gifts this year:

*Justin: New Snowboard and Snowboard Boots
*Amelia: 35 mm, 1.4 lense (WAHOOOOO!)
*Hudson: More Thomas Trains, and a Radio Flyer wagon
*Sloan: Tons of baby toys

Christmas was a total Blast!










Since my boys are the first and only grandchildren on my side of the family so far, they received a TON of toys from "Santa" and their grandparents!



Hudson got what he wished for!






Sloan looked very festive!



...And the aftermath of it all!



Onto a more spiritual thought, as Christmas is the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth, and now having a newborn around Christmas time, I found myself thinking about things a little differently this year. For the first time i sat back and thought about Mary and how she must have felt bringing the savior into the world. I can only imagine the weight she had on her shoulders knowing that she was the one to raise this precious child. I feel as if I can truly relate to Mary (granted, my boys aren't the savior of the world), but having two wonderful sons to raise...I can't believe that god has entrusted me to be their mother, yet I am overwhelmed with gratitude because of it!

We hope and pray that everyone was as fortunate as us this year...not just for Christmas, but for all of 2007. This has a been an amazing year with the birth of our second son, Justin producing Yo Gabba Gabba and it being aired on Nick JR., all of the amazing clients have been so fortunate to work with, Hudson starting preschool, and moving into a new house. We truly do feel blessed, to say the least! Merry Christmas!
