Christmas 2010.....in Jan 2011

Today was a very special day for our family.  It was one of those days I wish we could freeze-frame and live in the moment for a little while longer. Our oldest son Wesley was able to come over and meet his two newest little brothers for the first time.  Watching them together was sweet beyond words!  Matthew and Michael really took to Wes and let him hold and play with them.  

After all the introductions, we had a gigantic Christmas dinner...thank you, Rachel, for helping me cook all morning, and then we exchanged Christmas gifts!!  Matthew and Michael jumped right in there ripping open their wrapped gifts and playing with the paper and box's.   It was neat watching them observe Christmas for the first time!  Seeing all 8 of our children together for the first time was incredible.  What a special day!
