Christmas Day 2010

What a big Christmas we had this year! Christmas eve, we got ready for Santa with a reading by Popaw of The Night Before Christmas. Dad's a real trooper and just keeps on reading no matter what else is going on.





When Liam woke up Christmas morning, he saw very quickly that Santa had come. He ran toward his presents and exclaimed, "Wow!" It was so precious!

Santa brought Liam a tent with a tunnel and some big building blocks. His first major activity with the blocks was to kick down the tower that Santa had built.


Santa came and ate all the cookies, drank all the milk and even left a special note for Liam!


After all the practice at his birthday party the week before, Liam was a pro at unwrapping all his presents from Meme, Popaw, Papa, JJ, Uncle Mike,Mommy and Daddy.

The grill from Meme and Popaw was a BIG hit!

Popaw gave Meme a gift that he had wrapped especially for her - decorated with stickers all around!


Liam had a big time with Uncle Mike this year, who gave him all kinds of fun presents, including a very warm Carhartt jacket that he got to wear in the snow!

Liam was very helpful in working on getting his new toys out of the packages.


It was fun to have snow on Christmas day.


After all the Christmas chaos in the morning, Liam spent the rest of the day playing with all his presents, like this cool easel from Papa and JJ.


We had such a special year this year. Liam was so much fun and really got into the holidays this year. We love having family all together to spend the time enjoying each other. We have so much to be grateful for this year and we thank God for all the wonderful blessings we've been given. Next year will be another fun year, especially as we get ready to welcome our little Julia Frances!
