Christmas?!

What?!? It's been almost three months since Christmas?!? Are you kidding me? If I was a Christmas optimist, I could say that means it's only nine months till next Christmas. Alas, I love Christmas, but not that much.
We usually have two days of celebration and this Christmas was no exception. We started out at Nanny and Pa's. It's always good to see everyone. And it's always good to be silly together. We love smiling and laughing.












































Santa came to visit and left tons of things, he knew exactly what they wanted.



























On to MomMoms and PopPops, where they were spoiled with toys, books, love, breakfast and lunch.



























Cade went to the Santa shop at school and picked a present for everyone. He was so proud of himself. I was proud that he loved GIVING the items. He got Uncle Michael silly string, sounds like the perfect gift for a silly uncle.

















I love candid photos. And I love when they convey a feeling. The two below are two of my favorites. You may not be able to see Nathaniel's whole face, but you can see his eyes. They are lit up. So happy, so loved...so joyed. Cade's open mouth, head thrown back laugh photo shows his uninhibited love of life.

Even before Christmas we got spoiled by a visit from Aunt Ann and Uncle Jim.
