Christmas Morning!

We have had so much fun this year getting ready for Christmas! I think the boys are finally old enough to "get it" and they were so excited for the big morning. The week before Christmas we made gingerbread houses, made birthday cupcakes for Jesus, sprinkled reindeer food in the front lawn, went candlelight Christmas service at church and I am sure more that I am forgetting. Point is, we were READY for Christmas morning! The boys were bouncing off the walls all day on Christmas Eve and were even more excited after Santa snuck in while they were gone and left some Christmas PJ's under the tree for them to wear to bed that night.

So now, just three short hours after we got up this morning the boys are playing nicely with their new toys and Daddy is feverishly trying to put everything together for them. He has just started the wii so I am sure the rest of our day will be consumed by us sitting there trying to teach them how to play the games. Millie was great on Christmas morning too, and mostly slept thru all the commotion. Jerome has been joking that all Millie wants for Christmas is a wipe warmer, because she hates having her diaper changed w/ cold wipes. I mentioned this to a friend and neighbor and she promptly bought Princess Millie a wipe warmer...so now even she will be a happy little girl tonight! :)

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas morning. We are feeling truly blessed to have our little family so happy and healthy this morning.

Love you,

Lacey & Jerome

Our attempt at a photo of the three of them before bed...as you can see Millie is NOT happy, I think she is afraid of Eli, I know I would be. Caden is just is looking at her sympathetically thinking "I know Millie and he is ALWAYS like this!"

Coming downstairs Christmas Morning...

The first gift Eli opened...the Touch & Brush. He has begged for this daily and as you can see he was VERY excited to finally get it!
