Christmas with my family.

We enjoyed our family Christmas on the morning of Christmas Eve.

In many ways it started like any other morning. The boys had no expectations of toys waiting for them under our tree. They had no idea we would be spending our morning together opening gifts. So when Holden caught site of it all, he began yelling for Pax to come down right away. He's our passionate little boy.

As you can see, Pax was a little more low key.

Pax is our pretender. He loves to play make believe. So this little grill was a fun new gift for him.

He's also our little songbird. So he loved his new kareokee machine.

And remember how Holden has developed a passion for photography? Well, now he has his own little camera.

They opened one gift from one another.

And their stockings that were filled by mommy and daddy.

No family picture. This was the best that we could do.

And the next day, Christmas Day, we received a wonderful gift. Snow! Holden has been wishing and hoping and praying for snow. How awesome that it all came down on Christmas Day.

The boys enjoyed a snowball fight with daddy. :)

We've been enjoying the time Jeremy has had at home with us. Just a few more days to go, until it's back to reality. I'm trying to soak it all up!
