Happy Christmas and Merry Birthday!

We're at the end of the day of our first Christmas with Graham. We couldn't sleep last night we were so excited about him getting up and opening presents! Graham got to open his Christmas p.j's on Christmas Eve. Chad got his wagon from Papa John and Grandma Emie all put together for the big reveal.











This Christmas morning was so fun helping Graham open all of his gifts from us, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Graham received some really special gifts that will be such keepsakes for him! He also received a very sweet card and Christmas money from his Great Grandma Cowan. We have already put it in his college account.











We took so many video clips throughout the day, we were unsure which one to post. We decided to post the outdoor wagon ride (we've been on many indoor rides as well) and him playing with his favorite toy from Nana and Papa. As many clips as we took, we never quite seem to capture his more joyful, laughing, screeching, smiling moments. LOL




Somehow, Chad and I managed to open gifts as well. We also threw in a birthday celebration just to keep things lively. I made Chad a cheesecake and Graham helped him make a wish. We'll all go out to eat on Sunday to help celebrate our birthdays as well.


We have missed visiting all of our family and friends over the holidays. We hope you have had a holiday as blessed as ours has been! Our plans for the rest of our break include more naps, opening more gifts, eating, playing, and napping some more.
