Evan's First Christmas

Did Christmas sneak up on anyone else... because it sure snuck up on the Winter family!! 




We were planning a (last minute) trip to see my Grandma, or Gram as Evan knows her, but since Ryan only had a few days off and a 7 hour drive to Clermont, Florida, we decided to stay home for Christmas. 


Twus the night before Christmas and nothing was planned. 
A last minute Eve service went the Winter clan. 


Okay, okay okay... I am not a poet, but I tried. 

Off to Christmas Eve Service at Alice Drive Baptist! 

Alice Drive put on a beautiful service with lots of Christmas carols and a great Christmas message. Luckily Evan's first church experience was a service filled with music, because he decided that he was going to preach from the back of the sanctuary. As we were leaving a mother (who was sitting 3 rows in front of us) came up to me and said, "Well, I am glad it wasn't just my child doing all the talking." No, it wasn't just yours ma'am. Haha! But, Evan loved the music and watching all the people. All in all, his first church experience was a success. (We just need to learn WHEN we are allowed to talk!)

Although Christmas is not about gifts, Evan sure did have a pile under the tree. But I can only pray that he understands the REAL meaning of Christmas. Jesus!

Let the unwrapping begin...

He was more into EATING the paper than ripping it!

Oooo a football!

GOO BRONCOS!!

Thank you, Urijah for the book! :)

I think he ate a whole roll by the end of this!

See what I mean?

Thanks Mommy and Daddy!!

I swear I feed him...

King even had a stocking from his friend Lucy!

Such a happy boy!

We had to take an intermission... 

Someone was tired...

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Winter!

My first truck!

Grandma Winter sent a COOL new book! She recorded her voice to read the book to him... he loves it!

The book is called "Guess How Much I Miss You?"

I think he misses her... :(

Christmas night we were invited over to some friends (The Baden's) for dinner. Brandon and Morgan prepared a yummy ham and all the trimmings for us, it was delish! But the best part of the night, enjoying Christmas with good friends and good laughs! 

Evan LOVES his new alligator slippers!! 

Thank you Brandon and Morgan!

Well, as you can see, our boy was spoiled! Thank you everyone for the gifts! I can only hope that your Christmas was filled with as much joy as ours was!

Thanks for stopping by!! 

Love,

The Winter's
