It was a little strange this year to have our Christmas celebration at home as it seems like we are often traveling for the holidays. With Garrett being so young, we needed to keep him somewhat isolated, and so Christmas in Hoschton was the plan! Bonus: you can wear your PJs all day! And we are forever grateful for the inventor of Skype!
You may remember that Noah asked Santa for a “giant excavator”. As it turns out, Noah was on the NICE list and got what he asked for!!

For Christmas, Noah also asked for a bike with a HORN! Why do kids never ask for quiet toys?? Anyway, he unwrapped the horn, and we asked him to go find what it went with…it was cute because he went to get his little tricycle:
Um, Noah, look BEHIND you!
Hey! A BIKE!
How cool!
Earlier in December, Noah thought you just get ONE present on Christmas. We explained that he is very blessed with so many generous family members that he will likely get more than one present, and that’s another thing to be thankful for (hanging onto our Thanksgiving lesson). Well, he was so excited to open more gifts while I stopped to take this next video of Garrett, you would have thought it was, well, Christmas!
Thanks for the fire truck play set, Great Grandma – Noah loves it!!

Noah got a very cool Spiderman costume from Aunt Marge – he pulled up a chair so he could see himself in the hall mirror. And if you Skyped with us on Christmas Day (or following), you have seen Noah in this costume!
Garrett on his play mat – Noah put all Garrett’s new toys around him. He doesn’t know what to look at first!
We hope that whether you were with family or friends, at home or away, you also had a very memorable Christmas celebration. And may you be blessed with health and happiness in the new year!
Ya just wanna hold them and give them each a big hug and a bit smooch!!!
