Wordless Wednesday: Christmas Extravaganza

I wish we took more pictures than we did.  But we have what we have, I guess.

Little Man came down with a fever and somewhat severe cold the afternoon of Christmas Eve, so most of the pictures we took were from that morning and just a couple on Christmas morning, because LM wanted the camera.

All our local family came to us this year which was such a blessing.  Especially with a sick child!  I made chicken parm for dinner when my inlaws came over on Christmas Eve.  For Christmas, my mom took over the kitchen (no complaints here) and prepared an absolutely amazing roast beef, green bean casserole, and baked potato dinner.  Yum.

I’ll have to bug the grandparents and see if they have any more photos that they’d be willing to let me share.  My father-in-law is GREAT about taking photos and my father has a little bit of a photography background, so we should get some awesome shots in the next few weeks.

On a side note: Probably most of the really awesome, more artistic photos strewn throughout my blog and in the about me section are courtesy of my dad, in case you were wondering.  He’s taught me a little of what he knows over the years, but I haven’t really invested the time, so, though we’ve had a DSLR for almost three years, I’m not there yet.

Now our little helper can help shovel... if it ever snows again this year!

We didn't get an "after" shot for some reason, but this was a little wagon filled with oversized lego blocks. He loves building, pulling, and pushing things, so he loved it!

He also received this adorable little matching table, chalk board, and nightstand set from my parents later on Christmas morning:

Christmas is about so, so much more than giving and receiving, but it was a lot of fun to watch Little Man receive this year!
