Christmas and beyond

So here we are on Monday after this glorious Christmas weekend. We had a great Christmas celebration beginning with a wonderful Christmas Eve service at Living Water followed by a nice family dinner. It is so much fun to watch Zander really get excited about gifts and the whole concept of Christmas. Christmas morning was one of those moments were we wished a camera was rolling at all times to capture every fleeting moment. Zander got up and went to check his stocking and the look on his face was simply priceless. Of course the stocking was full that morning and he excitedly announced that Santa had come to HIS house- it melted our hearts!!!
Opening the stocking and the gifts brought many oooohs and aaaahs from our precious 3 year old. One of Zander's new prized possessions is the movie "Cars" and of course we watched it that very morning.
Later that day we continued the celebration at Grammie and Papas house and the favorite gift ended up being some very cool Spiderman winterboots.
It was truly a magical time for us as we got to watch Zanders amazement and joy. As far as our little Ethan goes, he actually openend a couple of his own gifts and of course he was willing to help anybody he could. He loved his toys and all the new things he got to see and touch.
Eric and I both feel that Christmas has taken on a wonderful new life now that we are able to share this joyous time of the year with our kiddos. Praise the Lord for having sent his son in the form of a precious baby boy who would turn out to be the greates gift of all- OUR SAVIOUR!!!!

Love & Blessings
