Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas and really enjoyed not having to travel anywhere!  Leah slept in, and Eric and I commented that this was probably the last Christmas we'd enjoy sleeping in 'til 8 :)  We had a nice breakfast and then started with the stockings and gifts.  Leah was slow at first: ripping a little, handing to Eric, ripping a little more, handing to Eric.  Finally, she got the hang of it and the pace quickened.  Then she had some new toys that interested her, and she wasn't interested in opening more presents.  It was pretty funny really!  The biggest hits were definitely the Brobee and Abby dolls, but she's been playing with everything.  The gifts were great, but we are truly blessed by Jesus' sacrifice for us.   Such love!!  We hope you all had a fantastic Christmas.

I'm having some issues posting video, but will try again tomorrow or the next day.

Last night I told Leah that when she sees the camera she should give an exaggerated smile and swing her head back.  Here's one of many shots like that.
Our yummy Christmas dinner.  Thank you Karen and John for the beautiful centerpiece.  It's beautiful!



Looking at the tree first thing in the morning...
"What do you do for the camera..."
After the unwrapping, Leah settled down with a snack...and Brobee...

Booby-claus exhausted himself running around the house like a maniac and finally settled in next to Eric....
