It's the most wonderful time of the year!

(Ethan, waiting by the tree for his big bro to wake up)

Christmas morning was pretty special for us. It was our first Christmas as a complete family. Ethan really enjoyed opening pressents, and Aden was at the perfect age to enjoy the fun of Santa AND understand the reason behind Christmas - Jesus' birthday.

(Best I could get of Aden seeing the tree when he first woke up)

We left cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer, and Aden thought it was really cool to see both were nibbled on while he slept.

(The boys admire the mountain of gifts)

Aden was such a sweetie, he made sure to involve Ethan when opening all of his gifts. He really takes care of his little brother.

("Mom... not until I can fix my hair please...")

(Seriously... how SWEET are these two? Melt my heart!)

(Anything Ethan could grab at went straight into the mouth)

Aden had asked Santa for a blue dog, a choo choo train and a green computer (Leapster). This lucky boy must have been on the "Good" list because he got all three!

The blue dog has gone everywhere with him, and had to check out all of Aden's gifts.

We hope you had a Merry Christmas!
