This had to be my most favorite Christmas to date. Now that Rowan is 27 months… he is SO FUN! I thought last year was fun because he was getting a little more excited about presents and such, but this year brought it to a whole new level. He loves Christmas trees, his Nativity scene & baby Jesus, Christmas lights, talking about decorating cookies, opening presents, etc… Snowflake lane was pretty amazing for him too but I forgot my camera (cell phone pics didn’t turn out too good!)
It was also Isla’s first Christmas and there’s just something so sweet and precious about that.
I often look at my little family and feel so much joy. I also think in this season about how Jesus was once just a tiny little baby and how weird that is to fathom. It also puts things into perspective for me, thinking about how God brought His Son into the world, as a sweet little babe, knowing he would later die such a terrible death, just for us.
Happy Birthday Jesus! Next year I want to bake a cake for Him with the kids.
Here are some photos of the day:
Here’s our tiny little tree at home. We bought it the first Christmas we were married. Someday we will go out and get a real tree but for now this works great for us. We haven’t been able to use it for the last 2 years due to a little blonde guy that happens to live in our house ;-) He was actually really good about it this year.
Isla checking out what’s under the tree. Love that you can see her little ginger hair in this photo. 
Mickey Mouse Christmas Jammies! 
Rowan’s two obsessions: Mickey Mouse…and most importantly, HELICOPTERS!!!!!!! 
After a nice quiet morning at home, we headed to my mom’s for more fun. 
and then home for bath time and a story before bed. :)
Merry Christmas!
