Christmas 2010

Like last Christmas, we went to my grandparents' house to celebrate Christmas! Dan and I decided to go back this year because you seem to be away from it all when you are there. It is very laid back and relaxing. You are not caught up in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of the city. You are in the midst of nature and God's wonderful creation! It was very low key, with Joshua being the only little kid there my family got to soak up every last bit of Joshua that they could! We didn't do whole lot, we went for nature walks, watched movies, open presents, had Santa on Christmas morning, and had a wonderful family Christmas dinner and also read the TRUE story of Christmas. It was a fun 4 days and we are glad that we got to spend it with family and truly enjoyed their company and all the fun down time that we had! Below are just a few pictures from the 4 days, I took alot so I couldn't fit them all on here. Enjoy!

He created this cozy spot all on his own!

This is funny, because Joshua the night before had to taste the cookies and milk that we sat out for Santa, and then the next morning he decided not to waste and ate the leftovers that Santa didn't eat!! So funny!!

What Santa brought Joshua. The first thing that he did when he came in the living room was go straight to Dan and check out his new pajama pants. Totally by passed the toys! We had to tell him to look around, look at what you got!! But as you can tell in the picture, he is still a little fogging on everything.

Christmas Morning!! Not a morning person at all!!

As tradition, my grandfather always reads "Twas the night before Christmas" on Christmas Eve. He has done it since I was little and I am so excited that he gets to read the story to Joshua!

Our Christmas Eve service that we had at the house.

Joshua playing in the leaves! He

enjoyed throwing the leaves up in the air over and over again!
