On The First Day of Christmas

It's been a while since all of Mark's family has been together. Because Eric and Cindy live in Kansas, we don't get to see them very often, but they were here for a couple of days so of course we had to celebrate Christmas - even if it was a few days early. We had so much fun with the whole family, even the dog, who Christian was fascinated with. He spent a lot of the day following Max around and trying to make friends, however with Christian's tugging and pulling, Max didn't reciprocate the love...
We also got some really great gifts. Christian hasn't quite figured out what opening presents is all about, but he sure loved what was inside each one!

The wrapping was definitely a bonus!

We are so grateful for the generosity of our family. They were so good to us. We feel so blessed to have so many loving people in our lives that we get to spread Christmas over several days :)
