Babies' First Christmas
My goodness. Seriously. Nearly 2 months late? I am terrible!!!
The years we spent wishing and hoping to have babies to sit and watch for their first Christmas. Let me tell you, they were all worth it to share the magic of Christmas with Kanon and Remington.
We took the babies to see Santa earlier in December and they really did so well! I was afraid we'd have a crying/screaming (but hilarious) Santa picture, but really, it turned out pretty good! They weren't sure what was going on, but they didn't fuss!
I will admit, I spent time being sad. We miss Chandler and Paisley so very much. Those two beautiful, strong, amazing babies should be here with us. How I would love if our story was one of two sets of twins. Two boy/girl twins. Now that, that, would be magical. But, I have to be strong for Kanon and Remington.
We decorated our Chandler and Paisley tree and added ornaments for Kanon and Remington this year. It was beautiful watching Kanon and Remi explore the tree and lights and just look at it with wonder.
We went to Christmas Eve service and actually smiled through it this year as we saw little kids run up onto the stage to listen to the recount of Jesus' birth.
Sunday morning, we got up, had our traditional biscuits and chocolate gravy, let the babies open their presents, and then headed to church for Christmas Day service. Grammie came down and the babies got to open their presents from her. They were finally starting to get the hang of what to do (and not just eating the wrapping paper).
After that, we went to the NICU and took chocolate chip cookies that Dusty had baked. Although we didn't get to see many of your nurses because they were off work, we did get to visit with a few. We love this tradition!
Over New Year's, we went to Iowa to celebrate Christmas with Dusty's Iowa family. The babies even got to go for a swim for the first time with their Uncle Beau and Aunt Darcie!! They loved it!! They had such a good time playing with their cousins. I love how the outnumbered boys are sticking together in the next picture!

Christmas this year was amazing. Such a great time spent with family and celebrating Jesus while having two of our four babies here with us. We are blessed.
You're not terrible for being two months late posting this. You're just busy with your sweet, adorable babies!
