Merry Christmas

We have had so much fun this Christmas! Julian is really starting to appreciate all the fun things we're getting to see and do during the season. He loves opening his advent calendars every day and has decorated cookies, made a gingerbread house, gone to Christmas at the Zoo, decorated ornaments, helped Mommy bake, given (and gotten) gifts, and more.
We went to get the obligatory pictures with Santa and J wasn't afraid to sit with him. He even told him he wanted an iPod for Christmas! (Sorry, buddy.) Evie didn't seem to mind sitting with a stranger either.
I started this post a few days ago and now here it is 11:30 pm on Christmas Eve. Santa has already been to our house and all Mommy really wants for Christmas is for my sick little girl to sleep well tonight.

We had a fun party at Mom's house tonight and afterward we went to see some really cool Christmas lights (or as Julian says "Crimas Yites"). Tomorrow morning we'll have our own little family Christmas and I can't wait to snuggle up with a cup of coffee and my fleece-wrapped baby to watch that little guy tear into some gifts (Buzz! Woody! Sparty!!) Then it's off to breakfast at Grandma and Grandpa's and what is sure to be a crazy fun time with the cousins.

Now I only wonder after all this build-up, how many months before J stops talking about Christmas?
Merry Christmas to all and Happy Birthday Jesus!
