Christmas was wonderful. We spent Christmas Eve and then Christmas Day Dinner at Grandma & Grandpa Hutchinson's house. Nate was pretty sick, unfortunately, but it was still fun. We spent lots of $$$ on others this Christmas and it was fun to give to those in need this season. Nate surprised us Christmas morning with 2 beautiful painting sfrom Simon Dewey. One was "A Child's Prayer," and is of an innocent darling little blonde girl praying and looking up into Christ's face. Christ's arms are outstreched toward her. Nate said it reminded him of me. The other is a beautiful portrayal f the Baby Jesus wrapped up and laying on straw and hay. It looks so real, like a photograph. It is Baby Jesus, but it makes me think of this new baby of ours that is coming soon. How innocent and pure he will be, just as Baby Jesus is.
Christmas morning was so much fun. We gave Jaxton some tunnels to crawl through and he loved them. And also this giant Elmo. He was a bit overwhelmed by all the new things and super excited, but not sure what to do with himself and the piles of wrapping paper and packages all over the living room floor. He was fun to watch tear open paper and get so excited about ripping paper that whatever was inside really didn't matter! It was a fun Christmas!!
