Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Ok, I'm a little late on both of these greetings. We have been out of town for a week and when we got home, I was just too exhausted to even think about blogging.In fact I am finding that being a mommy of two little boys makes it hard to blog period. Oh, well. Better late than never. It just so happens that both boys are sound asleep in their little beds right now, so I don't have an excuse.
We had a wonderful Christmas, as I hope all of you did as well. We spent it in Charleston with our River Church family before heading home for a week to be with our families.
This was one of our best Christmases. I know that might sound weird, especially since we were away from family, but Christmas day was wonderful. This was the first year that Will understood what was going on. He knew that there were presents wrapped for him under the tree. And he couldn't wait to open them. Seeing Will's face as he walked down the stairs Christmas morning was priceless. He was so excited to see his new toys, especially the train table which we had set up with his trains on it. He got to play with his toys all day long. Luke had no idea what was going on, but that's ok. He had fun playing with all the wrapping paper!
The four of us spent the whole day in our pajamas. We ate when we wanted to and slept when we wanted to. Will had more cookies than he should have, but I didn't stress. It was a total family day. Which to me was the best present you can get.

Here are a few pics from our family Christmas 2010:
Some of the Christmas cookies that Will and I decorated. I hope to make this an annual tradition with the boys.
And here is Mike with his cookies. Ever the perfectionist, he won the cookie decorating contest.

Christmas morning, playing with his new train table. His new favorite thing to say is "Mommy/daddy, wanna play trains?"

We had a blessed 2010 and are so thankful for what the Lord has done in our lives. We look forward to what the Lord has in store for 2011!
