Christmas 2011 (Finally!)

For the past month Kailer has woken up each morning eager to take down a magnet on our "Countdown to Christmas," knowing that when he got to the Santa magnet it was time for the big guy to bring presents!  Needless to say Dan and I used the, "you better be good, Santa is watching," line more than we probably should have - but if the shoe fits ....
This year as Christmas morning approached I was reminded of the joy of Christmas as I watched the miracle of Santa come alive in Kailer's heart!  He was so very excited to open his gifts to see what Santa had brought him. He asked for three things 1) A Mack Truck 2) the Cars 2 movie and 3) a "spidey" (i.e. spider man) - he must have been a very good boy this year because all of his wishes came true and then some!  Our entire family was blessed with so many wonderful gifts this year and it is a constant reminder to me that everyday I need to be thankful for everything and everyone in my life.

I'd say hands-down the best gift for Kailer - his Mack Truck!!!

Yes!!!  You would have thought he'd just won the lottery ... one VERY happy little boy!!

Spy Plane from the Cars Movie .... "Pretty cool" as Kailer would say!

We hope that each of you had a very Merry Christmas filled with memories to last a lifetime!
