We had a wonderful Christmas Eve! The kids had so much fun visiting family and, of course, opening presents! Megan opened a present that was a doll with a bathrobe that she can play with in the bathtub. Her response was adorable, "Oh goodness!"

Ethan ooooeed and ahhhhhed over every gift. When he opened a robot he said, "Oh thank you. I always wanted one of these!"

It may sound silly that I consider this a milestone, but Megan told her first joke today. :) We were in the car and she asked me for a baby wipe. She giggled and I looked back and she had the wipe over her mouth like a beard. She said, "Ho Ho Ho, I Santa Clause!" She giggled and Brad and I laughed so hard. Soooo cute.

Brad and I were talking to the kids again this morning about the true reason we celebrate Christmas. Afterwards, Ethan says, "I love Jesus. He's the best God in the whole world."

The kids had so much fun! Free kid's meals, fun craft, playground and activities with The Little Gym! And to top it off, ice cream! Ethan said it was a "special, special night!"

We were excited to come home today and find a package waiting at the door. Simon and Schuster Publishing sent us this fun, new book to review. Ethan and I will be reading it tonight and will post a review tomorrow.
