Joy To The World Christmas 2010

What a fantastic Christmas our family had this year! I absolutely love celebrating Christmas because it means we are celebrating the birth of Jesus! Without Him, I would not be here, neither would any of my family and friends. I started talking to Everett about Jesus this year... well as much as he can comprehend. It's a lot of fun and I am just waiting til the day when I can really get into deep and more meaningful conversations about Jesus. Karl and I get him to say the word, "Jesus" and it's just too cute! We ask him where Jesus is and he points to his heart!

We got to wake up with Everett going straight to the Christmas tree and just could not resist tearing that paper. I was trying to get my hair brushed and wash my face, and I had to speed it up because he was going crazy! He had lots of fun tearing the paper and didn't need much help at all except with the bows. Everyone has spoiled him and Christmas gifts keep on coming from family so he may be thinking that everyday is a day to open gifts! haha! Yeah right kid!!! After we opened gifts at my mothers house (since we are staying with her over Christmas) we then headed to my Dad's house where we met my brother and his wife and two girls. We all opened gifts and then my dad and His wife made a yummy Christmas breakfast and his famous German Shoe Fly Pie. It's a family tradition that's been in my family for decades and I'll continue to make it as well! Everett managed to get a small nap in. He couldn't contain his excitement with all his new toys, so he did not have much of a nap! Later on, we headed to my brothers house for a nice and quiet Christmas dinner! It was a jam packed day and boy, was I exhausted! We made great memories!
