christmas day 2008

lots of firsts this christmas... it was the first time waking up in our new home on christmas, and also the first time we didn't open presents at mama and papafongo's on christmas morning. but as we went through all of our christmas celebrations and family gatherings, it was also the first time that p and i are going through the season of jesus as expectant parents of our son. and it brought an even deeper meaning to the importance of christmas, and a closeness between the two of us that has to be one of the BEST gifts that we could have received.

but all that doesn't mean there wasn't a fantastic present-fest later that afternoon, including the annual christmas letter from santa.

check out the spread! we are so blessed...

the aftermath... it was afternoon by the time we opened presents, but yes, those are pj's if that's what you're thinking :)

we had a chance to visit ngng and spend some time with her on christmas day. i love this picture of her hand on my growing baby bump.

special shout out to uncle c and auntie s. they were celebrating this christmas in tx this year. we missed you guys!
