MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Merry Christmas to everyone! This Christmas has been very different but full of many fun "first time" things. This is my (Rachel) first away from home, but our first Christmas with our precious baby boy. It is our first Christmas without snow and our first Christmas in the beautiful mountains!

The Lord has given us many blessings throughout this year!

Here are some pictures of our Christmas.

Joshua's 1st Christmas outfit!!

Joshua was full of smiles today! :)

Joshua's bath toy from Grandpa and Grandma Marks. He really likes it!!!!

Joshua's 1st suit from Grandpa and Grandma Ravert. It is black with blue pin strips. He is going to be soooooooo adorable :D

Joshua's IKEA set of dishes. He really liked them becuase they are all so bright!

Joshua got so excited everytime we gave him a present. He would start bouncing and trying to grab the present!

Joshua got a hammer from Uncle Christopher, Aunt Melissa, Isaac, Caleb and Anna that makes noise and lights up when you move it around.

Joshua was all excited this morning when we all first got up. He was so smilie and giggly, for the first little while anyways. All the excitement wore him out fast though!

Smiling with a soother :D

Sooooo many presents! It was so fun waking up Christmas morning and seeing all of the presents under the tree!
