It's a Merry Christmas! (part 2)

Who's this cutie?

Worn out!

Christmas this year was very different than those past. For one, we stayed home! Yea! It was wonderful! Hectic at times, but it was great to be in our home to celebrate Christmas. Two, Connell was so much more into everything this year. Last Christmas, he was just 8 months old and getting his first tooth. What a difference a year makes. He enjoyed all the visitors this year, opening gifts, helping others open their gifts, and mostly, we now have a little sugar addict on our hands! HE LOVES Christmas cookies! And he knows where Mommy hides the containers that contain those yummy treats. Oh well!
We did make the effort to tell him as much as a 20 month old can understand, that we are celebrating Jesus' birthday. We bought him the Fisher Price Little People Nativity Scene, and he loves it! He really likes to make the angel sing (Away in a Manger) and he knows which one is Baby Jesus! So sweet! We can't wait to enjoy this for years to come.
My Mom & Dad arrived Christmas Eve and left this morning. Between their visit this week, and Meme and Papa last weekend, let's just say Connell might possibly be a little spoiled and maybe disappointed when he realizes all the guests are gone. He's stuck with us. And a whole bunch of new toys. :)
We had a lovely, low-key Christmas. We went to church on Christmas Eve and other than that, were home most of the rest of the time. It was great! Watching Connell play and listening to him laugh was all the entertainment we needed. We also had lots of delicious food! Yum! Thank God for my awesome chef hubby! Christmas dinner...Beef tenderloin with homemade bernaise sauce, etc. It was incredible! He's the best!
Once again, I have made a slideshow of the highlights from Christmas. Enjoy!
We sincerely hope that all of you had a beautiful Christmas with your loved ones!
