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.
After a nice quiet morning at home, we headed to my mom’s for more fun. 
Merry Christmas!
