Our Christmas...

 Next in line was our Christmas...

This year Andre and I started a tradition that is a... forever one.

We decided to only buy each kid three presents.

We based the number three off of the three presents that baby Jesus got on his birthday.

It gave us a wonderful chance to explain the reason for the season.

I would also like to think that if this is our tradition, when they get older, 

there will be no questions as to why not more!?!

Mr Liam was pretty into opening his presents!

Gabe was pretty excited about his new rain boots!

Ella was excited about some girly stuff... earrings and nail polish!

This little boy had been asking for a guitar for quite some time,

He has completely amazed me with it.

He sits and litsens to Andre when he teachs him, he stands in front of the computer

 (listening to music) strumming the strum patterns he has learned, and is more then

ready to learn more.  I had no clue he would be that interested, excited to know that we 

might have a little guitar player on our hands!

Liam was supper pumped to see a book with Curious George in it!

And food.... if there is a snack of some kind then he is one happy camper!

It is such joy to watch these kiddos learn and grow.
