Not only did we enjoy celebrating the birth of our Savior, we had a wonderful time rejoicing over the birth of our own precious baby girl, Abigail. And oh, the wonder of a child! Jayden had a blast digging into the presents under the tree that he had been longing to open. That we made it to Christmas morning with them still in tact is amazing!
This was our year to be in California with Mindy's side of the family so we spent Christmas Eve day at "Me-maw and Papa" (as Jayden calls them) Souza's house with all the cousins. This is a very special time, not only because we get to spend time as a family, but because the kiddos get to open their presents a little early!
Much to Corey's delight, Jayden got a basketball hoop, among other things, and it came with the 3 words dreaded most by fathers all around the world this time of year...
Some Assembly Required
Once they got it put together, the boys had a blast helping Jayden "dunk it" all afternoon.
After a fun day with the cousins, we went to the Christmas Eve communion service at our church then off to Great Grandma Souza's house for more family celebration...and presents for the kiddos. Jayden got his very own Lightning McQueen chair. How cool! (He actually carried it around the next day so no one else could sit in it. We're still working on the concept of sharing!)
After a full day of family and fun, we went home to wait for Santa. Jayden gets to open ONE present Christmas Eve from Mommy & Daddy - a pair of Santa pajamas to keep him warm as he snuggles into bed to wait for Santa to shimmy down the chimney. Better make sure Daddy puts the fire out before bed tonight!
