Christmas 2008



Gracie was sporting a stylish red and black coat with black embroidered poinsettias for the Christmas Eve service. It's probably the only time of year she'll get to wear her coat, so we turned it into a photo op.

Christmas morning started at 7:00 sharp (since our toddler has no snooze alarm). Jonah woke me up singing a Rich Mullins song directly into my right ear, "You gotta get up, you gotta get up, you gotta get up. It's Christmas moooooor-ning!"


We had to wake Gracie up for the gift exchange so she was thoroughly exhausted by her first Christmas morning. When she woke up from her mid-morning nap, Papaw and Meemaw brought over a big, yummy Christmas breakfast.



The day after Christmas, Uncle Jeff and Aunt Angie came to town and more presents were opened. Jonah's favorite gifts so far this year are his Wall-E robot from Daddy and Mama, and the green army men from Marmee. As well as the Texas Tech t-shirt from Nana, which he wore for 3 days in a row. Day and night.

Thanks for the post! I was getting restless since the last one. And Jonah looks totally pumped. Gracie looks tired. Michael looks like he is being careful. You look like you want to clean something. Love you!
