Pre-Christmas Christmas

We are headed to Portland very soon and will not be able to spend Christmas with Jeremy's family. We decided that since we won't be together on Christmas, we should have a pre-Christmas and exchange gifts. We started the night with a super yummy Mexican dinner with fajitas, guacamole, queso dip, beans, rice, and Martinelli's.

After we were all so full that we could not eat another bite, we exchanged gifts. As usual Merrick was the star of the show. He was so cute opening his presents. He took off the wrapping paper one tiny piece at a time and handed it to grandpa, saying "thank you" each time.





While we all had gifts to open and all got some great things, there is nothing better at Christmas time than seeing the world through a child's eyes. I loved watching Merrick explore his new toys. He is definitely a very lucky boy to have so many people who love him so much.
