Christmas Morning

Surprisingly, our early riser waited until about 6:20 to wake us up. HE CAME! HE CAME!! Oh, the excitement of Christmas morning and waiting to look by the tree....

My favorite part of Christmas is by far experiencing it through the eyes of a child.  Every small part is so exciting.  These were the big gifts that he specifically asked Santa for on each visit!


He totally forgot about stockings with the excitement of his gifts.  He asked for new socks and chocolate "gold da bloons (sp?)" (pirate treasure from one of his favorite shows).  We even had to pack some chocolates to share with cousins later in the day!


My favorite part of the morning was by far going to church that morning.  What a special way to celebrate the birth of Christ!  The service was very kid friendly and included a childrens time up front with the Christmas Story read to all the children.  Pierce has never been in "big church" at our church since they have childcare, but he loved going down front and didn't think twice about leaving us and walking by himself. 

I love these pictures with some of his buddies.  Grace loves Pierce, and I love how tight they are squeezing each other!  So much love!! 

"Joy to the World, the Lord has come..."
