Christmas at Granma and Granpa's

I hope you all had a very, merry Christmas. We certainly did. Aiden actually let us sleep in a little. I guess we have a few years before we have to be getting up before the crack of dawn to see if Santa came by with presents. Santa brought Aiden a few toys that he enjoyed playing with and he brought Mommy and Daddy tickets to the Capital One Bowl. After breakfast we headed to Lilburn to Granma and Granpa's to exchange gifts with them and Aunt Jessie and Uncle Matt while we waited on the rest of the family. Once everyone arrived we had a great meal and a lot of fun just hanging out and exchanging gifts. Aiden had a blast playing with Alexander and entertaining everyone, but was completely exhausted and slept the whole way home.

On a side note, I read Luke 2 to Aiden on the way to Mom and Dad's and told him that the reason we celebrated Christmas was because Jesus was born to save us from our sins. When I was through reading Aiden started clapping. It was the cutest thing. I guess he was saying, "Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus."

Here are some of the highlights from the day.

Here's his new outfit from Granma and Granpa.

Hanging out with Alexander Rice.
Alexander is my cousin, Chris's, 2 1/2 year old son.

Getting a little sleepy from all the fun.
