We had a wonderful Christmas this year! We started our Christmas Eve festivities on Saturday morning, by going to Chuck E. Cheese, which has become a Christmas Eve tradition for us. We all had fun playing games for a couple of hours. We then went to the cemetery, where we place flowers on my grandparents grave and Evan ran around and yelled, "Merry Christmas!" (His energetic spirit sure did make the trip fun!) That night we went to church and Evan sat through the WHOLE service! (This is a major improvement over last year, when Carl just took him home after about 20 minutes!)After church, we came back home to eat Chinese food and wait for Santa to arrive!
On Christmas morning, Evan excitedly ran into our room around 7:30. We all raced downstairs to open our stockings and presents. Evan was SO cute opening his presents this year! He read his name on the tags of the presents and would happily exclaim, "It's for me!" He also said, "Santa was so nice to bring this to me!" and "It's just what I wanted!" He was really sweet! Evan's favorite toys this year included his Star Wars toys, the stuffed tarpon, and the white horse.
We went to my parents house for lunch and for more presents. Evan and his cousins had a great time opening presents and playing together. Caleb and Evan played with their new Star Wars toys, while Jackson played video games on his Nintendo D S and Emily played dress up with her new dress up clothes and accessories.
After lunch we all came back home for a nap. Once we were well rested, we went to Carl's parents' house for dinner and more presents! It was a really nice evening. We were happy to spend time with our family and it was a fairly relaxing evening. (Evan was not too relaxed. He was too busy playing with his new gifts!)
Evan was happy to see that Santa came to our house!
Evan's checked out his stocking. (He also made sure that everyone else checked their stocking too!)
Evan was so grateful for all of his gifts this year! He was SO much fun to watch as he opened each gift!
"Merry Christmas!"
