Christmas Day

I am truely so grateful for all that I have and to have such a wonderful family...what more could anyone ask for for Christmas?!?!? I am thankful that I was able to spend Christmas Day with my beautiful family and just relax and play. That is definitely the way that Christmas should be spent :).

We really did have a wonderful Christmas this year. We spend Christmas Eve with my mom and dad and had a fabulous time. My mom made my favorite meal, homemade lasagna {yummy!!}, and we spend the evening showering Noah with gifts. It took Noah a while to realize what was going on, but he had a fun time. My mom and dad gave him some pj's, a book, and a red wagon! I know that he is going to LOVE his wagon come summer time! My parents gave Doug and I a new set of pans!! I was so excited...I am so excited to start using them!! Thank you mom and dad for a wonderful evening!!!


On Christmas morning, Noah was a good boy and slept in until 9:30!! Doug and I were so excited to take Noah downstairs because we knew that he was going to LOVE his "big" gift...a toy kitchen! We came downstairs and Noah ran over to the kitchen and started to laugh and clap his hands! He was so excited!!! Needless to say, he spend the entire day playing with his new kitchen. He would actually get a little upset when we pulled him aside to open up another gift. I am so glad that he likes it...thank you Santa!!!


Noah also got a tool box, books, a red wagon, puzzles, a vacuum, and some clothes. He is going to have so much fun playing with his new toys. He has definitely grown out of his baby toys, so we are thankful that he got some new toys to entertain him.


We spent the evening with Doug's family and had a wonderful time...good food, good company! The highlight of the evening was when Doug's sister told us that she was pregnant! We are so excited for them!!! Noah had a wonderful time playing with all of the cousins and opening the Pinata {a Smith Family tradition!}.


After a fun filled day, we were happy to come home and get some rest. We truely had a wonderful Christmas and we hope that everyone else did too!! I will admit that I am a little sad that Christmas is over, but I look forward to next year when we have another baby to share this wonderful holiday with our family!

I have posted the rest of our Christmas pictures on the right sidebar, if your interested :).

I am glad that you had such a fantastic Christmas too! It's so much more fun when your little boy actually opens the present instead of trying to eat it! :)

Glad you guys had such a fun Christmas! And how cool that your sis-in-law will have a baby too! Noah is so cute in all the pictures. We need to have Noah over to play. You know, get him used to the sharing thing. But then again, Sophie's still working on that...Anyways, come over and play one of these days! Sophie loves Noah!
