Christmas Overview

The weekend before Christmas we got to celebrate one of my best friends wedding :)  It was absolutely beautiful and such a great display of our God's love!

My handsome little man :)

Dawson and his cousin Thomas!

Grandma trying to keep little man entertained :)

Our family!

Fun with the Altenhofens :)

The wonderful couple!

Family dance time...D-man was sleepy!

We were able to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at home this year!  It was really fun to start some of our own family Christmas traditions :)


Getting ready to head to Christmas Eve service at our church

"Daddy is trying to eat me!!!"

Christmas Eve dinner= Baked Potato Soup.  This is going to be a new tradition for us...I will post a recipe sometime soon!  Soo good and soo easy!  I also made my first ever pie and it actually turned out!  It was a yummy recipe that was my Great Grandmas.  I might have to share that recipe sometime as well!

Yummy dinner!

Dawson partaking in our tradition of opening up one gift on Christmas Eve

Christmas morning reading of Jesus' birth...Dawson was trying to help daddy :)  This is going to be another tradition of ours!

Present time :)

We then traveled to Kingman Christmas afternoon and had a wonderful time with all of Brandon's family before heading to Abilene to spend Christmas with my family.  We had a great time with everyone and like always, wish we could have had more time together!

Opening stockings...Uncle Nate is so cool :)

Family!

Cool dude!

"I am going to pop that bubble!"

"I wish I was big enough to bowl too!"

"Cookies are yummy!"

Fun play spot!

Presents :)

The sad part of the holidays struck on Saturday after Christmas.  Dawson started throwing up and not eating that day.  Which then led to him breaking out in hives the next day along with lots of other not fun symptoms for a little baby :(  We were at the doctors 3 different days (once in the ER), but he is starting to do a little better, so we are hoping that he is on the mend.  Poor little man has been sick for almost a week now.  Yesterday and today have been much better, but he just isn't his happy little self yet. Please pray with us that he gets back to normal soon!  I miss my happy little guy!
Daddy and Dawson are sad about Dawson being sick.  If you look closely you can kind of see a hive breaking out under the little man's eye :(
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year!  Next big event in our life...Dawson's 1st birthday!  Only a few weeks away :)
