On Christmas Eve, Daddy and Manu came back from California and arrived home past 11pm. We woke everyone up and opened presents. Lots of special gifts for Grandma from the boys! We’re so thankful she has come up to help take care of us for the month.
Micah got a new blanket, Manu got a toy baking set, and they both got bath markers and a board game.
Bentley even got a stocking with gifts this year.
We made carob/coconut crunchies and baked & decorated Christmas cookies in the afternoon.

Brothers, Micah & Ty
Each year since we got our Christmas tree, we’ve added one ornament. We started this tradition when Grandma Karen from church gave Micah the first one commemorating his first Christmas in 2007. Last year, Manu picked out the moose. This year, we got another one from Grandma Karen for baby Ty’s first Christmas.
Was it a silent night?
Some of us were up all night! 🙂
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and truly appreciated God’s gift to us through His Son, Jesus. May we learn to love Him more!
Merry Christmas, Jude. I”m glad your mom is up there and that you guys looked like you had a really memorable, tradition-filled time. Miss you guys.
Very sweet.  Merry Christmas!  I love how Bentley is staring so intently at his stocking filled with yummy toys!  Haha.  He definitely knows that one is for him. 🙂  I also LOVE the picture of Ty and Micah.  So precious!  Glad you are enjoying the holidays!  Hey!  Just realized that you’ll be down here early Feb. 😉  I don’t know if you will prefer to stay in AA, but if Lansing is more convenient, stay with us!!!
