"Santa ate his cookies!" was the first thing Connor said as he walked into the living room on Christmas morning. He didn't say much at first, but you could just see the excitement in his eyes that Santa had come and left surprises.

Connor's presents
Connor loved his stocking and kept offering to share with Cole and I when he realized we didn't have a stocking. We laughed that one of his favorite gift were the $1 magnets I threw in the stocking. :)
After looking at what Santa left he opened a few gifts from Mommy and Daddy. I ended up getting out my sewing machine to make one of his gifts. More on that later...
Connor played with all his new things for awhile and then we got ready to head over to Mimi's house.
Mimi and her 2 boys (soon to be 3 boys in April when Baby Askew gets here!)
Connor was so excited to see another stocking that he immediately ran over and started opening it. We spent the rest of the morning letting him open gifts and play with everything as he went. It was such a nice and relaxing day.
Some of my favorite parts of Christmas are just spending time together as a family.
Mom made Christmas lunch with all of our favorite foods! Ham, macaroni & cheese, green bean bundles, corn casserole, fruit salad, and rolls. Yum!
Connor finished opening a few presents after his nap and spent the rest of the evening playing.
Our family has been so blessed this year and we had a great day remembering the real reason why we celebrate. Jesus is the greatest gift of all!
So the Word became human and made His home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen His glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son.
John 1:14
