Christmas came a little early....

Many of you know that one of my favorite things right now is being a part of my little neighbor Alexander's life. I feel so blessed to have Alexander and Zac next door, and we have had some really fun times this past year. This year I was leaving early to go home to Oregon for Christmas but I didn't want to miss out on Christmas with Alexander so Zac and I decided to have our own little celebration.
We started the evening with Zac grilling his amazing hamburgers, then I had them listen to a book called Silent Night, a true story about soliders during World War I. Finally Alexander was able to open his gifts and he was so excited. We started off with my family tradition of Christmas pj's. Alexander opened up his pj's that came from Zac's parents who are in Montana. Zac received his traditional boxers and red shirt (traditional as we just started this last year), and I in my Christmas pj pants. The rest of the evening was a lot of fun, especially my gifts from Zac. You will note that I received a Life Jacket, you are probably wondering why? Well, Zac likes to tease me about my desire to "be prepared", apparently my 72 hour kit didn't come with one of these. Who knew? :) He also answered my christmas wish with a hand potatoe smasher (yes, I wanted one of these), and my all time favorite gift was a Homemade coupon book where I can redeem these coupons anytime. The best part of the evening was just seeing Alexander get excited about Christmas, and spending time with two people that I have continued to enjoy getting to know better and better.

Merry Christmas
