Even more exciting, was all the fun we had with Drew, starting to "get" Christmas. Though, his pediatrician reminded us that he really doesn't get that a large white man somehow manages down our chimney & leaves presents for him under the tree...well, we didn't try to explain that part! :) But he did get that presents were to be unwrapped, and new toys were to be played with, and that was lots of fun for us all!
Daddy, Mommy & Drew went to the afternoon Christmas Eve service & that went relatively well, though Drew wasn't quite content to be quiet & still - pretty sure he distracted everyone to the side & behind us about 10 rows either way - oh well! The next morning the 3 of us opened our presents to one another before heading over to the Palmer house for lunch.
The entire Palmer family was able to get together for lunch, so that was a real treat. Luke & Drew did a GREAT job of playing together, especially impressive since both skipped their PM naps - a Christmas miracle perhaps! We all were stuffed & showered with gifts by the end of the afternoon. Drew was super excited about his wagon from Grandma & Papa - Mommy & Daddy are excited about it too!
We went home to be welcomed by Nana, Grandpa & Uncle Kevin. We fed Drew, played & put him to bed and the 5 of us opened our gifts that evening. Sunday morning, Drew was able to open the rest of his loot & he really got into it & by the end of it all, the room was a wreck & there were toys everywhere - just what Christmas is supposed to look like! Drew was certainly spoiled this year with gifts from all the family from Houston, Austin, Iowa & Florida - what a treat!
Thank you Lord for a WONDERFUL Christmas celebration this year! We praise You for sending Your Son!
