Wow, Christmas with a baby is magical. Josh and I haven't put up a Christmas tree in a few years because we aren't home on Christmas day or the days surrounding, traveling to families home's to celebrate. So this year we were excited to introduce Baylor to a Christmas tree, ornaments, sparkly lights, ribbon, crinkly paper, the nativity set, lights and manger scene on temple square...all the wonderful things that celebrate the birth of our Savior. I think he loved the tree lights and curling ribbon the most. He has such a sweet spirit about him and enjoying the holiday season with him was so fun! He sat on Santa's lap, and showed little fear, still too young to understand stranger danger. He adds so much happiness to our little family. I tell him often "you make everything more fun!"
We celebrated Christmas with a Christmas Eve breakfast with Josh's family. Nyle and Terry were here for Ben and Becky's wedding and we enjoyed visiting with them before heading to my mom's. Christmas day we spent with her in Cove. We took a walk through the snow covered alfalfa fields, visitied Sage's memorial where my mom had put up a beautiful fresh Christmas wreath on a shepherd's hook, had delicious prime rib, watched Baylor play with some new toys (stacking cups, books, and rubber ducky to name a few) and then played a roaring game of Apples to Apples. We love games!
We felt so much gratitude this season for a wonderful baby boy to love, work going well for Josh, and for loving family and friends.
