Four Christmases

Christmas, Christmas, and more Christmas...we are Christmased-out! One of the many joys of the holidays for us is that we live near both sides of the family, so we have a lot of Christmases.
This year was particularly busy...with four Christmases and our own little family of 3 Christmas! We also attended the Candlelight Service at Netarts which has become a tradition in our family...we both feel so blessed to have our families so close, even if it makes for a busy holiday!!!
This being Aiden's first Christmas we tried to keep with our traditions, year ornaments(including snowmen couple which now gets to have a baby snowman), and the collection of Aiden's own ornaments as well. We traditionally put up lots of lights, make a gingerbread house(which we did with ty and hailey), zoolights(which we avoided this year because Aiden is too little to enjoy them). It was so wonderful having him pull on the wrapping paper of his first Christmas present. :)
Christmas will never be the same for us...the joy and magic of it all will now be shared with our munchkin...our own Christmas gift from God!
We are so blessed and looking forward to Christmases to come...teaching Aiden that Jesus is the reason for the season and showing him all the magical things at Christmas time!!
