Christmas!

We hope you and your families had a wonderful Christmas season this year; I know we did! Matthew really started to catch on this year - he LOVED all the Christmas lights, Christmas trees, Frosty, Santa, etc - he would always gasp and smile and point everything out. It was so fun. We tried to teach him that Jesus is the reason for the season, read him the story out of a kids Bible multiple times and pointed out the manger scene and baby Jesus, and of course we said Happy Birthday Jesus - but he doesn't get it yet. Oh well, he will! Another fun and exciting thing that happened over Christmas, is that my brother is engaged!!! He asked his girlfriend, Kristen, to marry him on Christmas Eve Eve down in Coronado. So fun - and I'm so excited to welcome Kristen as my new sister-in-law!!
Here are just a few fun photos & videos from Christmas :)

So he wasn't very cooperative in smiling for the pics, but you get an idea :)

Family pic (ugh, the pregnancy is showing in my face! Oh well)

Matthew & Uncle Greg (Matthew has a controller to a remote control car in his hands - his new fave toy!)

Cool - a tricycle!!!

And here's a video of first thing Christmas morning - Matthew is so much fun :)

I've seen this pic at Josh's Mom's house many times over the years, but we pulled it out to look at it yesterday and I was just shocked at how much Matthew looks like Josh did at 2 years old! I still think Matthew is a pretty good mix - if you hold up photos of both Josh and I next to Matthew, he's pretty much in the middle, but looking at a pic just of Josh, I think it's so cute that he looks like his daddy :)

2 year old Josh is on the right :)!

Family pic from Thanksgiving that I never posted :)

Happy Holidays everyone - Jesus is the reason for the season!!!! :)
