We spent Christmas Eve in our Christmas pj's making gingerbread cookies
And eating them too!
Next, we took a few silly photos
And gave good night kisses before the Peas headed to bed
Next Mommy and Daddy started the task of getting presents put together and set up
Bright and early Christmas morning and I'm not sure if we were more excited or Ryan and Evan
The keyboards were a hit
And so was Muno!
Not to be left out, our Badgie Boy joined in on the fun
Our baby boy was really into opening presents this year
And was glad to score a set of Barney DVDs
After opening presents we headed to church. This little cutie has suddenly refused to leave his mommy's lap during church service. Yet he also refuses to sit still!
And this little cutie's main goal is clear: must get to Daddy in the pulpit! This explains why Mommy looks exhausted so early in the morning!
Speaking of Daddy, he played one of the wise men in our Christmas production. It was fabulous!
Afterwards, we headed home to eat dinner and get back into our Christmas pj's! Daddy read Ryan his special copy of The Crown on Your Head, which is Mommy's new favorite book.
Ryan and Evan enjoy playing with their felt play mat. In fact, they are all about anything having to do with cars right now.

So, that's how the Parker's spent Christmas. It was a quiet, low-key holiday with just the four of us. We missed our families back home, but we talked to them throughout the day to say our Merry Chritmases, thank-yous, and I love yous. We gave gifts to each other and to our loved ones, yet we focused on the knowledge that the greatest gift of all has already been given to the world. It was a Merry Christmas indeed.
Cousin Betty truely enjoyed all of these pictures. The boys received so many toys and gifts, etc. They did not know where to turn or what to do first. Looks like a lot of family fun.
