On December 22nd, Joel, Caleb, and I celebrated Christmas together. We had a nice dinner together (Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo - we decided to do something different than what we'd be having the next several days!) by candlelight and then moved into the living room to give gifts to each other. Caleb did pretty well helping to open his gifts this time! It was such a joy to be able to give him some fun gifts. We also enjoyed opening gifts from each other. Joel's gifts were very thoughtful - he's so generous! It was a wonderful celebration together. It felt like the first one with Caleb since he slept through everything last year! Traditions don't seem that important yet this year, since he won't remember any of it, but we're beginning some anyway. The one that he didn't get in on this year was watching the Muppet Christmas Carol - we watched that after he went to bed. Maybe next year he'll enjoy it!
Merry Christmas Sweetheart!
On December 23rd, we traveled to Milaca to visit my grandparents on my dad's side. My mom, dad, and April were there that afternoon learning how to make lefse. We had dinner together and then all headed to a nursing home for a service my dad did. My mom and I sang "O Holy Night" and Joel played for us. It was a nice time to minister together during Christmas. Caleb brought lots of smiles to the residents!
I'll have to do a later post on Christmas Eve because I don't have enough good pictures to do it justice yet!
Merry Christmas Sweetheart!
