Happy 1st Christmas Little B

What a sweet and wonderful time we had with Benjamin for his first Christmas! He didn't really know what was going on, and enjoyed eating the wrapping paper more that opening the presents, but it was still a joy to experience this with him! As you  can see from the pics, he got some little figurines that he had a blast eating! We were gonna buy him 2 big presents, but Target was almost completely out of toys. SO, he ended up with 3 little ones and 1 big one, which pretty much equaled out to 2 ;). We got him 3 sets of small little figurines, and a game called Uno Moo. He cannot play the game, but he can play with the animals and put them in the barn :). He got presents from EVERYONE - so we didn't want to buy him a lot of stuff too. Stuff that he will just get bored with in a couple of months anyway.

Christmas Eve we spent with Jeremiah's family, and ate pizza and watched Christmas movies. Christmas Day we went to my parents early in the morning for my dad's famous Christmas Day omelets - YUMMY! We then went to church. After church it was back up to my parents' to watch Benjamin open his presents, and celebrate Josiah (Joelle's little brother) and his 7th birthday.

Church was very sweet, and there was actually a lot of people there. We just spent a time of sharing why we were grateful for Christmas, and then took communion. It was especially special today to Jeremiah and I because on this day, 6 years ago, on a Sunday, we got engaged! Time sure has flown by and wow have there been a lot of changes since then!

This time this year we are especially grateful to God for getting us past these past two weeks. Joelle had a spinal tap go bad, and was laid up in bed for 9days. She ended up having to get 3 blood patches, and was very very sick. The spinal tap (checking her CSF pressure) did come back normal, so her neuro feels confident with just diagnosing her with plain old migraines. Our next step is too look into possibly seeing an endocrinologist and seeing if it is a hormone issue that can be addressed. Several people have mentioned a holistic/naturalist approach, but we don't feel led to go down that road.

Jeremiah has a 3day weekend for Christmas, so tomorrow we intend to go SHOPPING (or at least Joelle does lol) and spend some Christmas money that was so sweetly given to us.

We pray that you and yours had a very merry and special Christmas as year. We are looking forward to this new year, and all the blessings that God has in store for us!

Be blessed!
