Happy Birthday Jesus!




The Jones and Rosa family had a fabulous Christmas. The boys woke up super early... M came in our room at 6! (Mind you, he really didn't understand the anticipation... he just ALWAYS wakes up early!) We kept him in their until 6:30 when N joined us and we went on to wake up Uncle Jamie, Bob-O and Gracie. The boys had a great morning and loved every minute of it. The Christmas pj's were on in an instant when they saw their new coveted Batman costumes and masks.





The boys each got scooters from Santa and have enjoyed them so much!



Uncle Jamie was super excited about his first domestic gift from Santa... Dish Towels! Welcome to the wonderful world of home ownership James!


N and M loved their Lightning McQueen toys from Jean Mommy... Thank you Jean Mommy!

The aftermath... Looks like a tornado went through our Living room!

After presents, we ate our lunch. I cooked my first Christmas dinner and was mostly successful! We finished it off with our Happy Birthday Jesus cake and song which the boys loved! It was a lot of fun and nice to have my Mom around to help me with the cooking and planning. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing with our new gifts and spending time together. It was our first Christmas in OUR home and we really enjoyed it. We did miss the rest of our family in Georgia though!

The boys had a very Merry Christmas and as I reflect back, I feel very blessed. The boys each received the three gifts they asked fro from Santa (which were not large by any means) and were completely satisfied and thankful. I pray that they will be so content in the many Christmases to come and not focus on the gifts they receive as much as the time together and the gift of our Savior. Merry Christmas everyone!
