Merry Christmas!

Miguel and I were both very excited and looking forward to this Christmas. But, for this Christmas instead of dealing with all the hustle and bustle of visiting family, we decided that we were going to stay home, have our traditional Christmas breakfast and lounge for the rest of the day. And it was fabulous!

Our tree.. Notice that almost all of the Christmas ornaments are at the top of the tree.

This year we decided to start the tradition of leaving the stocking at the foot of the bed.



Seeing the presents for the first time!



Opening his first present. He needed a lot of 'encouragement' to open all of his presents.

Miguel and I also started another tradition with Syler this year, which is exchanging ornaments. We have been doing this for every Christmas since 2004. So, this year, Syler received his first ornament, and here he is hanging it on the tree.
