We had a fun Christmas this year, especially since Daddy had Christmas day off - a rarity in his line of work. That fact was made even more special considering this was the first time the boys would experience Christmas with our family. Each boy had a unique reaction to the day and to the gift-giving...Levi was a bit hesitant and quiet, and as he opened each gift he would then take it and run to put it under his bed where it would be "safe". We explained to him that no one would take his presents and after that he was able to enjoy the experience a bit more. Ethan grew more excited as the day progressed, as he has already developed an attitude of wanting lots of "stuff". He, too, kept a close watch on his "loot" and bagged it up right away, keeping his bag next to him to protect it and watch it. We felt like both boys handled the holiday well. One thing that made this Christmas special was the kid's gift-giving. Every child really went all-out to save their money in order to purchase gifts for all their siblings. It was so fun to watch their enthusiasm as the other kids opened the presents they had purchased or made for one another. It was a special time to enjoy as a family and to share the reason behind the season - the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior - with the two newest members of the family.
