Well, it's the day after Christmas and all through our house there are toys everywhere and we are pet-sitting a mouse. Actually, it is a rat.
We had a great Christmas with Family. We went to Christmas Eve lunch with my parents at "Famous Daves." The food was delicious. Then we headed to the College Church Christmas Eve service. See, here's the thing, I totally understand why they don't have childcare for this service...I mean really...who wants to watch kids on Christmas Eve. This left us with our less than calm 18 month old in the service with us. Awesome! We decided to keep a low profile and sit in the balcony. That lasted about 2 minutes. Caleb saw this as a great opportunity to throw Johnny's cell phone...luckily , it didn't quite make it to the edge of the balcony, but it did make quite a noise and a scene. Sorry, to everyone who was in the balcony that night...hopefully we did not ruin your worship. If we did, next year you should volunteer to do childcare. :) jk. After the service we went home and put Caleb to bed and watched Horton Hears a Who. Cute movie.
We woke up to lots of fresh snow on Christmas morning, it was beautiful to look at! Not so much to drive in...thank you Lord for our jeep.
Caleb slept in on Christmas morning until 8am! I told Johnny this is the last time for 15 years we will be able to sleep in on Christmas, we better enjoy it! We did our family stockings and presents. I didn't realize how much we had gotten for Caleb until he started opening it all...sheesh! He got a new tricycle thank you to Grandma and Boppa Hampton! Then we headed over to Boise to be with the Deakins family. After all, it is an even year. We had a wonderful day! Grandma and Papa spoiled Caleb with a 4-wheeler riding toy and a basketball hoop! He loves both of them! He also got a remote control car from Ava and lots of fun little stocking gifts. We spent the day eating, playing games and playing Guitar hero...which Jana rocks at! We topped the night off by watching Mama Mia! PS I always thought the "Dancing Queen" song had a line in it that said "unless you are a Nazarene". I was proven wrong last night. Whatever.
Caleb is getting to be such a fun little boy...he has ENDLESS energy and is full of wonderment over the littlest things. His new word is "snow". He and Johnny had a great time playing in the snow last week. We feel so blessed to have Caleb in our lives.
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! To all our Family who we couldn't be with, we love and missed you all!
Um, I don't think Johnny is going to ever let me update the blog again, apparently I am long-winded. Enjoy all of these pictures!
Love ya,

He LOVES bananas.
Can't you tell?
Caleb's 5 favorite things: "Mi" (Binki), Geoffry (the giraffe), "Ma" (Milk), "Nack" (Snack cup), and "nana" (Banana).
Chubby Bunnies with mini-pancakes.
"Booh, booh, booh..." All day long.
Fun in the snow!
He loves the santa hats.
Christmas morning at home - first "stocking" experience.
And wouldn't you know it - all we needed to do was buy him oranges for Christmas and he would have been perfectly content.
Notice the fist full of oranges in Caleb's right hand.
Thank you very much Grandma and Boppa Hampton!
What a deal - two stockings in one day!!
Thank you very much Grandma and Papa Deakins!
A vallient attempt at taking a "cousins" picture. By the looks of Caleb's body language, he is saying, "I gotta get out of here!"
