All babys need Antlers and Uggs.This has been our best Christmas ever! I feel like we celebrated everyday this December with holiday parties, festive meals, and gatherings with friends and family. This Christmas Eve we went to church with our Richter family and the Waldons and Lyons. Then Lettie and Jeff joined all of us at Mom and Dad's for a wonderful dinner. Eli did alot of bouncing in his jumperoo horse and loved checking out all the wrapped presents under the Richter tree. It was great company to celebrate the evening with.
Eli woke up early on Christmas morning, so we dove right into our gifts. Christmas was so magical this year, having Eli in our lives. He was so interested in everything under the tree and really enjoyed all of his gifts! Later in the morning we went to the Schultz's for breakfast and opened gifts with them. Jackie made yummy biscuits and gravy, and Eli got lots more toys. After coming home for intermission, we went back to the Richter's where we were spoiled by everyone! We opened gifts, played a fun new UNO game and marbles, ate a delicious steak dinner, watched a movie and ate a fantastic cake. It was a very eventful and enjoyable day. We have so many blessings to be thankful for this holiday!
