Merry Christmas!

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! We certainly did=) Christmas Eve: Jeff went hunting with some friends that morning, while me and the boys stayed home and baked all sorts of delicious desserts for Christmas. That evening, we went to Jeff's Aunt Julie's house for the big Davis family Christmas get together. It was so wonderful to have everyone together, just like Grandpa A would've wanted. He was there in spirit, as was Tommy. Both are truly missed and loved, especially at this time of year. Even Uncle Lynn made it, which was a true blessing. There was tons of wonderful food, Christmas songs by the piano, reading from the Bible, and warm family moments. Carson played a guitar solo of "I'll be Home for Christmas". And, Jeff sang "Oh Holy Night" for his Aunt Sarah. It was a great night and a highlight of the holiday weekend. We always enjoy seeing everyone and it was our first chance to see Aunt Julie's new house- it was beautiful. After we left there, we went back to Dad's to do presents. Amazingly, Cal was still awake at 11pm! Not happy, but awake. We had to cut it a little short and headed back to Gardner for midnight mass, then time to sleep and wait for Santa. Christmas Day: Jeff woke up first and got the boys up and ready. We all came down and opened gifts. Cal figured out how to open presents, but lost interest real quick. I think he enjoyed the paper and boxes more than the actual toys. I guess that's normal for his age. After playing with all the new toys for a bit, Jeff made eggs benedict for breakfast (Yum) and we all got ready for the rest of the day. It was so nice just to have a relaxing morning at home with the boys and watch their eyes light up with excitement (well, Carson anyways...Cal is still a little young to understand). We piled in the truck and headed over to see Uncle Lynn. We stayed with him for a little while, let him open his gift, and Jeff fixed his headphones so he could watch his tv. He was ready for a nap after our short visit, so we wished him a Merry Christmas and headed over to Jeff's moms. She had an amazing spread of food, and we ate, drank and were Merry! We did presents and watched Christmas movies. It was such a great Christmas. Thank you to everyone for the wonderful gifts and memories. We are truly blessed. Here are a few pics from Christmas. Sorry I didn't get more, but Cal was a super busy boy this weekend. I wish I could've captured more of the moments.
