1st Christmas

We had an amazing Christmas! The festivities started on Christmas Eve. We took Colton to our church for the first time for a Candle Light Christmas Eve service. He did awesome and loved the candles. After church we had both of our families over to open Colton's gifts and enjoy each others company. Early, early Christmas morning we woke up to Santa presents for Colton, Sadie and Chloe and then moved on to breakfast and presents at Nanny and Grandads and then presents and dinner at Grandma and PawPaws. After we got home,and got Colton to bed, Zak and I stayed up late putting together Coltons new toys. It was a busy busy couple of days but the best Christmas we have ever had!

Daddy is at work today and Colton and I are resting and getting some things done around the house. We have lots of family and friends visiting over the weekend.

Just a warning...there are a TON of pictures ahead!!! I took so many pictures that I completely ran down my camera batteries. Don't worry...there aren't THAT many on the blog!
