MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas! We had a wonderful 1st Christmas with Baby Alex who was less than 2 weeks old. We decided to stay close to home this year since Alex was so little. It was great not to travel for a change. This is the first year Ben really got excited over Santa and of course all of the gifts! He had fun setting out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.

It has been an ongoing celebration at our house. I am not sure if we could drag out Christmas any longer if we tried. We celebrated with Grandpa and Grandma G. the weekend before Christmas when they came to visit. We spent Christmas Eve day with the Huettl family. Grandpa and Grandma Fox stopped by Christmas night. We have one more family Christmas towards the end of January. The celebration that goes on and on! Ben is not complaining!

Ben is going to be a builder--he loves his new tool bench!

Christmas Day was so relaxing! We opened Santa gifts, had a great breakfast and laid around all day. Ben was having so much fun playing with his new toys. Don't forget the packers played that night so my boys cheered them on.
