We were even more blessed as we were able to have another Christmas on New Year's Day. We celebrated Christmas with Mom and Dad Beeker and Kevin's sister, Liz and her husband, Andy, and our nephews, Drew and Aaron. We both arrived at Kevin's parents before 11 am. And the boys were very happy to see each other and started playing. We opened our stockings, then ate some lunch. The kids were occupied with the stockings for a little bit so some of us ate lunch in shifts. Then, we opened our presents. Caleb got a marble run from Liz and Andy which he loves to play with. TJ got a firetruck and a fire station from Mom and Dad Beeker. He loves it!!!!!! Kevin and I got new Calpholon pots. Somehow, our old ones got reshaped...one happened from movers and the other from us dropping it on the floor. Anyways, the tops don't fit anymore so we are glad for new ones. And Abigail got a pretty red bow for her hair and some new clothes and a baby doll. We had many other nice things in our stocking and we are thankful for everything. We had ham, sweet potatoe casserole, green bean casserole, a delicious fruit salad and rolls for dinner. Then, we had ice cream and cherry pie for dessert. We sang Happy Birthday to Caleb while he blew candles out that were in his ice cream and he opened his birthday presents after dinner. We are so glad to be close to Mom and Dad Beeker and Kevin's sister's family so we can celebrate holidays with them. It is a huge blessing to us to be close to family.

Abigail looks so cute in her outfit! I thought purple would be a good color for her...and it IS!!! :) Glad you guys have had such a wonderful holiday season!
I especially love the offensively large pom pom bow on her head! Even though the pink doesn't really match the purple I'll still give you props for putting it on her sis!
