Rebecca's first Christmas with an awesome hat from Carolyn
Rebecca loved her dog from Aunt Valerie and Uncle Eric (who just had a baby boy - Evan Michael on Dec. 19)
Daniel did indeed get his airplanes from Santa! As a matter of fact he got a whole airforce and a whole fleet of cars :)
My two little angels! Daniel said, "Mommy, we match."
My happy boy with one of his airplanes taking off!
Air hockey was a big hit with Daniel - he somehow won a lot of games (not sure he understands scoring yet)
Daniel at the little kids table eating his Christmas dinner - turkey, croissants and yams with orange cups plus COOKIES.
Cousin Callie and Daniel at the little kids table (brings back memories). I think Daniel has convinced Callie that airplanes are awesome. They have been running around the house and chasing each other all week - so adorable.

Rebecca definitely has Pop-Pop wrapped around her finger
Our angel bear with her Daddy

Love my fill and spill aquarium from Santa
Could she be any cuter?

Daniel seems to be very good at offense (we need to teach him about defense)

Rebecca with the puppy that Daniel gave her for Christmas. Daniel went shopping with me to pick out something for Rebecca. He wanted to get her a puppy and when he saw the pink one he said, "That is the one for Rebecca".
Rebecca loved her puppy and the heart that lights up!
Happy Girl on her first Christmas
Macall really liked her remote control doggie from Uncle Mike and Aunt Holly

Happy boy since Daniel delivered on the airplanes that he requested. Gabriella (our elf) went away until next Christmas.
More toys for Rebecca - we might get to all of them by next Christmas :)

We had an amazing Christmas this year thanks to Rebecca completing our family! Daniel totally understood everything this year and loved the lights, the tree, the decorations, visiting Santa, wrapping presents, opening presents (one after the other), singing Jingle Bells, eating cookies, etc. Enjoying this season through his eyes has been so amazing and such a blessing.
Mom, Dad, Aunt Erica, Uncle Scott, Cousin Callie, Nancy, Chris, Emily, Sam and Lilly joining us for Christmas dinner made it a very special meal (even if Michael dropped part of the turkey on the floor - Clark Griswold moment). We had a delicious meal and a wonderful time with all the kids on Christmas morning. It has been a true blessing this year to have everyone together and to even has some snow!
We missed Aunt Valerie, Uncle Eric, Hayden, Nana and Grandpa! But they were plenty busy and blessed with the addition of our newest nephew - Evan Michael who was born on December 19th! We cannot wait to meet him.
