Christmas!!

Well, here we are, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's all behind us, and it flew by! We had wonderful holidays thanks to our fantastic families. WARNING: This post may be a bit lengthy, but stay with me!

On Christmas Eve, Parker's family has the tradition to go bowling. This was Jeremiah's first time bowling and at first he didn't know what to think. He was very concerned about the ball "disappearing". Once he figured out that the ball comes back, he was able to relax a bit and have fun! He found a pink ball and it was love at first sight. He would not let anyone else use it or even touch it :) Would you mess with this kid?

He loved rolling the ball down the lane and then running over to the ball return and saying, "There it is!"

Later that night, we had a family get together and there was a special guest appearance by the big guy himself! Well, the pictures speak for themselves:

(Yes, this is the same picture again, but I can't figure out how to delete it! :)

Later we asked him, "Do you like Santa?" "Uh-huh. Candy" "Santa gave you candy?" "yah!" :)

On to Christmas morning! Jeremiah was very excited about the toys Santa brought him. After we opened the presents at our house, we went over to Dixons and opened lots more! Jeremiah opened a couple and then didn't want to open any more. We said, "It's a toy!" and his reply was, "No more toys!" haha Let's just say, those were not mom and dad's sentiments :) We all got lots of wonderful gifts, and were again, amazed at the generosity of our families and friends.

This was another great year with countless blessings for our family. We are looking forward to 2010 and all the exciting things that are coming (namely, Lily - coming very soon!!). We hope that all of you had wonderful holidays and a happy New Year!
