christmas 2010

i really enjoy and love the holidays and can't believe that having a child makes you love them even more! even though ethan is a little young to understand it all, just seeing his face when he would slowly tear some of the wrapping was priceless.then after he finally got through my tape (i think i like tape) and got to the actual present  that was even better. oh and santa did a better job of making it easier for little hands. next year will be even better for him.

but after all the visiting, eating, laughing, opening and enjoying everyone's company i really wish it didn't have to end. because truly without family and amazing friends what would we have. it doesn't matter how much you have or how much you own the best memories are made with family and friends and this time of year "we" seem to put more of an emphasis on the importance of family when really it should be all year around we take the time to spend with those we love. family and remembering the birth of our savior makes the holidays what they are.
i love my family and am thankful for them everyday but having us all together for the holidays really is the best!!
well now that the hustle and bustle is nearly over i have finally started organizing everything and think i have found a corner of the house for all of the toys ethan has been blessed with. :)
