Merry Christmas from the Reeses!

Our Christmas was double the fun this year with our two boys.  Brody was big enough to partake in a lot of the fun, including opening his presents and playing with the wrappings.  Mommy's favorite parts of Christmas were dressing the boys in their Christmas pj's and outfits and watching the joy on their faces as they opened their gifts from "Santa."  Daddy's and Evan's favorite parts probably involved playing with Evan's Christmas present, a new Wii.  Brody's favorite parts were playing with all of his new toys and the wrapping paper, dressing up like Santa, and just experiencing all the wonder and magic of his first Christmas morning.  I love spending Christmas at home with just our little family and seeing our kids' faces light up to see all the packages mysteriously left under their tree during the night!  I hope that they retain that joy and wonder for many years to come...and if possible, may they never lose it! 


Our Family Christmas






The Boys!



Dressing Brody in his big brother's first Christmas outfit was fun for Mommy.









Brody is ready for his first Christmas!



And he wanted to read his "favorite" Christmas story.



Brody was our jolly little Santa this year, and Evan was his big elf helper.



So much love contained in this look.



Now I truly understand the phrase "brotherly love!" 



Serious Santa!



Happy Boys!



Santa got under the Christmas tree.



And Elf tagged along!



Papa paid us an early visit this year.  Brody definitely has the jolly belly to fit the Santa suit!



Evan made this little "advent" Santa calendar at school to count down the days until Christmas.  When completed, Santa had his full beard ready for Christmas.



Our stockings were hung by the chimney with care.  Mommy did not do as much decorating this year.  It was a very busy month for her. 



And our house was dressed in holiday cheer.






Mommy and Evan made some special Christmas cookies.



And Daddy stole one!



The presents are wrapped and placed beneath the tree.
