Christmas was thoroughly enjoyed by all this year. The boys are at a delightful age where their excitement permeates their little bodies. We first celebrated Christmas with the Penners on December 20th. The boys had fun with cousin Claire, opening gifts, playing, decorating sugar cookies, etc. We are truly blessed with amazing families! On the 24th, the Raabe Christmas began. The boys opened gifts with their cousins Alex and Tyler. They discovered they would be going to Disneyland together in March and promptly proceeded to the next item on their agenda (more gift opening!). They fed off each other's excitement and were a pleasure to watch. Santa filled their stockings for the 25th and they are still trying to figure out how he can fit down chimneys, bring things for so many people, etc. It is also confusing for their little minds how Santa and baby Jesus fit together. For now, we've let them believe that Santa brings people presents to celebrate Jesus' birthday making it possible for everyone to have a present to open. It is fascinating to hear them process and try to comprehend the extraordinary. We had such an amazing time together with both families. We count our blessings having everyone so close.
GREAT cousin pictures!
