and a Merry Christmas too!

I just decided to do this in two posts, so see below for our Christmas Eve affairs.

Christmas is such a magical time. This year was the best Christmas so far because I got to watch the joy in Cannon's eyes as he was surrounded by people that love him. It was surreal as I helped my baby open presents. He is such a blessing and the best present a mom could ask for.

Cannon was absolutely spoiled this year. He barely even knows what's going on, but he sure loved seeing all the pretty packages. He especially loved chewing up the wrapping paper and bows.

Grandma and Grandpa Stewart got this Exersaucer (aka baby paradise) that he could spend all day in if we let him. He loves it. He can jump and spin and it sings and rattles and does all kinds of amazing things.

Grandma and Grandpa Becar got him a TJ Bearytales bear that talks and moves and tells stories. Cannon thinks he's a little friend to play with and pokes him and yanks on him a lot. It's cute. Guess you had to be there. He also got a little ball popper thing that throws balls into the air and then they roll down a little slide thingy. It's cool. He likes that a lot too.

Here they are with Cannon.

It was fun to be with both of our families on Christmas. We kind of shuffled back and forth all day. We loved spending time with everyone we love. Through all the craziness of having visitors and trying to juggle presents and events, we just feel so blessed and lucky to have such supportive friends and family. I can't think of a better way to spend a day than lounging in my pjs and laughing, celebrating, eating, giving, joking and just BEing with family.
Here's one of the three of us on Christmas morning. Jarom held the camera and I pushed the button. :)

I don't want to forget that the purpose of the Christmas season is to celebrate the birth of Christ. He has given me everything and for that I am eternally grateful.

Merry Christmas!

So cute ashley. Hey will you ask Ammon if he remembers my sister Sydney Bowler. She says that he is a lot of fun but she lost his number. She got a new phone and forgot to get the numbers off it before she traded it in for a new one.

Ash, It looks like you guys had a great Christmas. Cannon looks so spoiled in his huge excersauser!! I bet having kids makes Christmas so much fun. Kyr, Brynn, Shae, and I were all together the other night and we were talking about getting us all together sometime. We really need to!
