After All There is Only One Christmas a Year

This Christmas was packed full of Christmas cheer. We went home for the holidays and spent time with both of our families. We did everything from......
Building Ginger Bread Houses...
to building igloos...
to watching Eden play the piano.


But nothing was quite as fun as watching Eden open all her presents. It was really fun to watch her start to understand the concept behind it. At first she didn't really care much for the presents until she understood that there were fun things inside of them. After that realization she started getting into it. She would rip it open enough to see what was inside and just try and pull that out. It was really fun to watch her play. And no present was a great hit than her first doll. She was really smitten by it and it was so cute to watch her play with it.




The other really funny thing Eden would do on the trip was that she was obsessed with a Santa Clause the Nelson's had at there house and she called it the ho ho ho. So every time someone would say Eden where's the Ho Ho she would go run and stand by it.

I love the pictures and video!! That was so much fun to see you guys!! By the way, Eden as taught Jacen a couple of things! First he's started that whine that Eden has, and it cracks me up because he didn't do that before, and second he's now walking! He can take about 10 steps on his own. Crazyness!! Zach said we should have had him hang out with her earlier! lol
