Christmas Memories

I cannot believe Christmas has come and gone already!  Where did this year go??  Anyways, we have had a great Christmas  although there were a few kinks in our plans.  (Sickness hit the Little clan viciously so we didn't get to do our big family get together... Flu go away!). Hopefully in January!  
Brent and I had so much fun this year watching Dawson really enjoy the Christmas season.  
From the moment the tree came out he got so excited!  He loved everything about decorating with us.  If you know Dawson, you know he is obsessed with a ball... So naturally the ornaments were so exciting! We were definitely concerned he would break them, but we only had one casualty! 
Not only did he have fun decorating but he had fun making dough ornaments with mommy one morning.  
We had fun going to see the lights at hill ridge farms with his grandparents and cousins. He loved riding the "choo choo" to look at the lights and loves riding the pony!  He's such a little boy now!  
Once the week of Christmas arrived I was so excited to watch him experience all of the Christmas traditions and gatherings.  On Christmas Eve we had a party with Brent's grandparents and all of the Little family. Dawson loves it! He had so much fun playing with his cousins and  really showing off his personality.  He was so worn out that he slept until 8:40 on Christmas morning!! Since he slept so late Brent and I got up and enjoyed some coffee and made some pancakes and enjoyed a moment of peaceful silence.  ðŸ˜œ Once Dawson woke up naturally we went straight to the presents.  He was just excited about the paper and bows!  He loved opening his gifts and was so excited about everything! 
After our morning together we went to Brent's parents to do gifts with them.  Dawson loved playing with his cousins and opening more gifts! 
On Friday we had Christmas with my family.  We had lunch, opened gifts and then a game of football outside.  Dawson wanted to play sooo badly, so they had to stop and give him a few minutes of play!

Dawson with his prized possession... A football! 

Overall we have had a great Chriatmas.  Dawson has loved every minute and is still enjoying some time with family before everyone returns to work. Merry Christmas everyone!
