Christmas 2008

It's hard to believe we had another "first" Christmas this year with Levi. We traveled up to Wisconsin to visit Dan's family the week before Christmas. We were also able to see my aunt and uncle, Dave and Donna. We planned to be up north until Tuesday but came back early due to the big snow storm. Dan had to shovel the driveway when we got home so that we could get in the house! We had a nice Christmas Eve service at our church. Isaac and Levi both did well being in the service but it definitely makes us appreciate the nursery so much more! It's hard to keep an active toddler still for an hour!! We drove down to my parents' on Christmas Day and spent a few days there. Both of my brothers and their families were able to join us on Christmas Day too, so that was special.
We bought an Advent Book this year to help Isaac learn about the birth of Jesus. He was so excited to open the pages each day. He would get sad when we told him that was all for the day! It was fun watching him anticipate what was next! He constantly asks for more. Hopefully that will continue each year!!
