Best Christmas Ever....

We have been having a really great Christmas this year! On Christmas Eve we took Joel to early church and then to his Great-Grandma's house in Wauseon for dinner with the Baldwin side of the family. On Christmas morning we opened gifts at our house and then went to Wauseon for Christmas with the Barnes side of the family. On the day after Christmas, Rob's family started arriving for Foster Christmas! We have had Rob's three siblings and most of the nieces and nephews here for a few days. Joel has loved all of the attention, but he has had kind of a nasty cold and has not slept at all well for a few days. This makes me very nervous, since he will be staying with Aunt Lisa and Uncle Jason in a week or so while we are gone to Hawaii. Hopefully he starts sleeping better soon! He is having kind of a hard time getting used to sleeping in the pack and play rather than his crib. He is gradually getting more used to it, but he has a ways to go! Anyway, he has gotten some fun presents and lots of attention from family we don't see very often. We have Christmas with my immediate family on January 2nd, and then we are done Christmasing until next year. This has been our best Christmas ever. It sounds so cliche, but Joel is the greatest gift of our lives and we can't even express how happy we are to be celebrating his first Christmas. Ho! Ho! Ho! More later....
