It has been difficult finding time to celebrate our own personal family Christmas here at the house. We were in Texas the week before and the two weeks after the 25th, so we decided to celebrate our little family's Christmas once we returned. But, with Joshua so sick, it was put off another week until we finally found a day when Brad wasn't on call!
The boys woke up before Brad got home from work (again, on call last night). I had covered with a sheet all the open presents such as the chairs, Joshua's bike, and Jacob's ride on toy. They didn't even notice it - really. It was a huge towering sheet in front of the tree, and they didn't seem to even see it!! We watched CARS (of course - that is a daily ritual now.) then both boys went down for a morning nap. Brad came home while they were sleeping, and we finished the Christmas preparations. The boys woke, and we took tons of pictures (with Brad's new camera) of them opening their presents. It was really neat - Joshua finally gets the concept of opening presents, and they had a really nice time. Joshua spent about 30 minutes cruising the hallway on his bike, but he still isn't quite clear on how to pedal by himself. We think fully inflated tires and smooth pavement should help!
What a nice time with the family. I just love it! NOW, to get down all these Christmas decorations!!! And to clean out the office this week...
