It's Christmastime!

"From home to home and heart to heart, from one place to another. The warmth and joy of Christmas brings us closer to each other. -Emily Matthews

Enjoy these pictures from our family's favorite time of the year. We hope that all of you enjoyed the holiday season, too!

Christmas Morning

"Santa came! Santa came!" Gavin was in disbelief- he truly thought he was too naught for Santa to come this year!

Gavin excitedly shows Connor a gift of baby cereal from Santa. :)

Yep.

Enjoying his new Kindle while chilling out on Boppa's leg.

The beginning of a new tradition. Playing a new video game once all the gifts have been opened.
