Christmas, New Years & Happy Birthday Andrew!

Of course so much has happened since we last posted... all in about 2 weeks time! We had fun celebrating with the Davidsons this Christmas. On Christmas Eve-Eve-Eve, we took Samuel to the best Christmas lights neighborhood we've ever seen. He loves looking at Christmas lights and he was SUPER excited about this house with a lit-up choo-choo train. He wasn't looking at the camera for this picture, but you can see the excitement in his face!

On Christmas Eve we set out a cookie & milk for Santa, and some carrots for the reindeer. We always did that as kids growing up, so its fun to follow the same traditions with our kids! Samuel looked really confused Christmas morning when he found that everything had been nibbled up. :)

We decided to take a family photo on Christmas Eve, instead of Christmas morning. We're so looking forward to next year when we get to celebrate Christmas with our little baby!

I love this shot of Sam's morning face... he is so excited that he gets to open another stocking!

On New Year's Eve Andrew's parents happily babysat for us so we could go have a poker night with some friends. No pictures of this, but we had lots of fun and each came out making our money back for one of the two games!

New Year's Day was Andrew's 30th Birthday! Happy Birthday!!!!! We had all the family over for a make-your-own-pizza party with cake & ice cream, and some wii party games. Here's Samuel helping Andrew blow out all 30 candles. Sam succeeded only in drooling on the cake (you can actually see the drool if you zoom in. He hasn't mastered blowing out candles yet - its like he's just saying "fffffffff" when he blows out a candle) whereas Andrew did them all in one breath! :)

I love you Andrew with all my heart and am so blessed by you!

I thank God for you every day!
