Christmas Celebrations

We had a wonderful Christmas. Presents were simple. Our stockings were pretty empty. But our home was full of love, joy, and the Christmas spirit! We got to enjoy quite a few Christmas parties and celebrations with family. We had a Christmas party with Brent's Mom's side of the family (Smith). Santa even came to that one! Croix did great sitting on Santa's lap!



We also celebrated with Brent's Dad's side of the family (Maldonado). Due to feeding and taking care of Croix, no pics from that one!

Christmas morning we went to Brent's Parents and had a wonderful breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, cinnamon rolls, muffins, and delicious hot coco. Then we opened some gifts. Croix had fun opening his presents.

Later on Christmas day we ended up at Brent's sister Carrie's house. Croix had fun with all of his cousins. Especially Cate who is two just months older then him.

Aren't they cute! The first time the met Max said "Croix are you ready to meet your best friend Cate" LOVE IT!
