A Very Merry Christmas!

What a beautiful day spent with loved ones! This Christmas was so amazing for Shawn. Watching him open everything and the look on his face as he kept asking "What is it? What is it?" was priceless! In between the unwrapping all you could here was "Another present! Another present!" It was the cutest thing :)

Landon's first Christmas was amazing as well. He loved having Shawn help open his gifts and watching all the paper fly here and there.

A few photographs from our day :) We wish every one a very Merry Christmas and hope your day was merry and bright!

This seems to be one of the favorites... he hasn't put it down all day! The Fisher Price A to Z zoo.

And here it is, Christmas Eve. After a month of preparation, Christmas carols, Sesame Street Christmas Movies, The Grinch, Snow, Elves, Santa, stories of Jesus and the mother Mary, the REAL meaning of Christmas, cookies, family, friends, wrapping, cards, lights, trees, red, and green.

The Rawlings family celebrated our 1st Christmas Eve as a family of four. We celebrated the day with great friends, wonderful family, tasty food, and unforgettable memories. Stef and Bobby were here until the wee hours of the morning, so we rang in the day with laughter and humorous stories. Then this afternoon Liz, John, and Delilah came over for Christmas Eve dinner. In the evening we connected with GiGi, Poppy, and Pap Marks via the new web cams to spend our Christmas with Jon's family. It was a truly enjoyable day and we are so blessed with our amazing friends (both old and new), and our beautiful families.

Merry Christmas to all! God Bless :)
