Ed's family was able to come celebrate Christmas with us this year. We all went to the Christmas Eve service. It was the second time Abbey and Caroline have gone to church. The doctor gave us the okay for them to go now that they are past eight weeks old.
The girls were festive for their first Christmas. It was good that we got the picture when we did. Not too long later, Abbey threw up all over it. Fun stuff!
We tried something new this year. Instead of opening everything on Christmas morning, we only opened a few things. We are going to spread out the rest over the twelve days of Christmas. We are hoping that this will decrease the materialistic focus of Christmas Day and help the kids to enjoy each gift more. This way the gifts won't all be in a pile while the favorite toy gets all of the attention. We also hope it will help them to remember who has given them each gift. We will see how it goes. It is just an experiment.
Hope you had a great Christmas. Abbey says, "HO HO HO!"

They look so big already! And adorable. Let us know how the 12 days goes...I've been trying to figure out how to do that in our family...but sort of gave up last minute.
Merry Christmas from the Ward family gathering in Garner at Nancy N's!!!!!
