This Christmas was a lot better than last Christmas. Last year, Nathan was so sick for Christmas that he couldn’t hardly open his presents. This year, however, we got to wake up and have some family time before the craziness of the day.
He got lots of cool toys, including a Leapster (a kids’ educational video game system), some moon sand, a Bullseye horse and from the movie Toy Story (and a Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head set), the game “Ants in Your Pants,” and other things.
We traveled home specifically to spend Ben’s first Christmas with our family (even though my sister lives in Las Vegas…miss you Christy). Since he’s only 5 months old, his presents were basically rattles and some clothes. But he liked them, I think.
Overall, it was a good day, especially for the kids.
Here are a few video slideshows from the day:

I love Christmas season! I truly believe it’s the most wonderful time of the year.
We put up our Christmas tree on Saturday. Here are some pictures.

The other day I was at work, and I opened my email to a surprise. It was an email from Janell. I love getting email from her, especially when they have pictures of the kids in them.
When Janell emailed me the pictures of them playing, the email said, “I don’t know who likes it more, but the crying has stopped (for now).”

Here are some pictures from our weekend. You can see more on our flickr account.
We basically had a great weekend around the house. Saturday was a cleaning/lawn mowing day, and Sunday was church, football, and the world series.
Quite the wrestling match.
Is’t he cute?
One of our favorite malls to walk around in.
Sunday afternoon nap while watching football.
Here’s a quick video of Benjamin smiling. Janell does most of the work in the video, but the smiles on his face are worth it.
He’s just now starting to smile big and giggle a little bit. He’s growing up so fast, though.
Here’s the video on Vimeo.
