christmas 2012..

we had such a wonderful christmas this year! rob was off work and we got a real tree for the first time.. it really made the house so christmas-sy and smell so good!

robert and i had been talking a lot about christmas, santa, and baby jesus's birthday. i wouldn't say that robert really "got" it this year.. and he was definitely not impressed with santa.. but he definitely loved opening gifts. it was so much fun seeing the joy in his face christmas morning. he loved his toys and definitely hit the jackpot :-)

here are a few pictures of our christmas..


the tree all loaded up.. it was a dream come true!!

reading the night before christmas.. a tradition passed on from my dad. my mom has pictures of us reading every year. traditions are so wonderful.. i could hear my dad, like he was right next to me, reading the book :-)
