The Christmas holiday was packed full of festivities! We celebrated with friends and family! We had fun at the following events: our Loft Christmas party, Shane's school Christmas program, FBC Allen Christmas program, Prestonwood Christmas program, and Shane's piano recital.

We also had three separate Christmases...1) the three of us, 2) the Parsons, 3) the Gentrys. Below are some pictures from these fun Christmas celebrations.
We spend the first Christmas celebrating with just the three of us. It was very special spending our first Christmas with John. He loved the paper and cardboard the best!
We traveled to North Carolina, December 22 to December 28, for our second Christmas with the Parsons. This was also John's first plane ride. I don't think he even knew that he was on a plane. He enjoyed watching other people and the happenings around him. Here are some pictures during our time in North Carolina! We all had a fun time!

Our third Christmas was spent on New Years day with the Gentrys. John was a pro at opening presents at this point. He knew exactly what to do with the wrapping paper and cardboard...eat it!

We feel extremely blessed with all the family and friends we have around us, that love on us and love on John. It was a lot of fun watching John enjoy his first Christmas. We thank Christ for a wonderful 2012 and look forward to what God has in store for us in 2013.
Happy New Year
