Christmas in America

We had such a special holiday this year.  Kell was so much fun...everything a first.  Christmas Eve while having dinner and opening some gifts...in the chaos that is our house...our new boy was having a ball!  But now and then we'd catch a look on his face that seemed to say, "What is going on?  Are these people crazy?  Oh well, what the heck, I'll join in!"
We had our annual birthday party for Jesus and I think it was Kell's favorite part.  This boy LOVES birthday parties and singing the song!  He may not fully understand Jesus yet, but he knows Jesus had a birthday!
Had to sneak a little taste!
Not being a material guy, he was a little overwhelmed with the gifts.  That is, except for his favorite gift of all...Georgia Boots!  He wears Jack's big ole boots around the house all the time so now he has some of his very own...SO proud!
No problem getting to bed anticipating that bike he asked Santa to bring after putting out cookies and milk for the jolly guy...oh and searching the house for baby Jesus so he could go night night in the nativity scene!  One oversight...we forgot to inform Kell of Christmas morning procedure!  He was the first one up and didn't know what to do...do you wake up someone else, stay in the bed or make yourself some breakfast?  We found him sitting by the lighted Christmas tree beside his new bike with a huge smile on his face!  He had not touched a thing...just admiring and wondering what comes next!
Riding your new bike in the house, of course, because it's a rainy Christmas morning!  We then packed up and headed off to Mississippi to meet all the family for the first time!
It was a Christmas we'll never forget...the first with our special boy
