This Christmas season I am honestly overwhelmed with how much we have to be thankful for. Every year after Christmas is over and it’s time to put away our Christmas decorations, I always say a prayer for our family. I pray that the next year in front of us before we open these decorations again will be full of joy and memories and that we will open them just as happy as we are when we put them away. Never could I have imagined last January when I was saying that prayer, the plans that God has had for our family. We have been so blessed by these sweet babies joining our family this year and all our memories we made before and after they were born.
We have had a busy holiday season trying to fit in all our Christmas traditions we usually do while figuring out how to do this ‘taking infant twins out in public’ thing! Of course we had to go see Santa! This was the first year that neither Caleb or Eli was nervous, they were just SO excited.
We drove to a beautiful barn decorated for Christmas about twenty minutes away to see him and somehow there was NO line. Luke and Reid slept through the whole thing and we took our own pictures for free. That’s a win in my book!
We had a big cookie baking day at my Mom’s house and both of the boys were so excited to help. ___ I’m pretty sure breastfeeding twins gives me a close to unlimited Christmas cookie license. (No? Is that not true? 😉 )
Caleb was a shepherd in his preschool’s Christmas pageant. All the preparations were kept a surprise from the parents and the kids were told not to tell us what songs they were singing. It was so adorable! I’m going to pretend that the reason I didn’t get any more pictures is because of where we were seating but in reality keeping two infants quiet and happy doesn’t leave much room for picture taking!
We saw Christmas lights, had our annual Grinchmas with my sister and went to a holiday parade. We definitely took advantage of the season and the mild winter so far. These sweet 4 are definitely all I’ve been wishing for under the tree this year!
Merry Christmas to you and your family from all of us! Hope you have enjoyed this season as much as we have.
