This was our first Christmas with Lochlan and Gavin and we both agree that Christmas is more fun with kids around!
Gavin spent the night with his mom on Christmas Eve, then he came back on Christmas morning. Matt, Lochlan & I walked to the Children's Mass at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church about 10 blocks away on Christmas Eve. It was bitter cold, but definitely a memorable first Christmas Eve with Lochlan.
Matt & I had exchanged our gifts to each other right before Gavin came home on Christmas morning; meanwhile Lochlan was still sleeping.
So Gavin came home and Santa had left a big wooden train track and train set for him. He is so into trains and could barely open his other gifts, because he was so focused on the train set.
Taco, Tav and Lloyd wanted to be a part of the action so badly:
Lochlan finally woke up and watched us open his gifts for him! My favorite Christmas gift that Lochlan received was from Nonnie & Beba (my mom and stepfather), who donated food to their local Keene Community Kitchen for Lochlan.
We finally made it through the presents, then I started cooking our tasty Christmas meal! Gavin hung out in the living room while Matt was watching football and Lochlan hung out with me while I cooked our meal.
This was the best Christmas EVER! It was so nice not to have to travel anywhere, but to hang out at home with our sweet little family. We definitely were blessed this Christmas.
