Christmas 2009

What a wonderful Christmas we had!!! This was the first year Emercyn really understood what Santa was all about. She was so excited to decorate cookies for him, and on Christmas morning she couldn't wait to see what he brought! Jason and I had so much fun talking about Santa Clause with Emercyn. What a fun time! And since she "got" that concept, we used this wonderful opportunity to talk to her about the real reason for the season.....Jesus's birth! She even said "Happy Birthday Jesus" a few times! :)

This was also Harper's very first Christmas. What a special time!! She was 8 months old, so she was at the age where tearing into the paper and boxes was more fun to her. Jason and I loved watching her!

And of course, I put them in matching pajamas! I let them open their new jammies on Christmas Eve. This will most definitely be something we continue throughout the years.

Because of the massive amounts of snow we had this year for Christmas, traveling became a problem. My parents were stuck in Houston. So we celebrated Christmas with my family on New Year's Day. It was wonderful having all of the "babies" together........all 4 of them!

And we celebrated with Jason's parents on Christmas Day. They were brave and drove in the snow to our house! We had a great time! We really missed not being able to spend the holiday with Jason's sister, her husband Brad, and our cutie patootie niece Lydia. Hopefully that day will come!!
