It’s been another great year and I must say this was probably our best Christmas ever.  Wesley is five now and has now fully grasped the concept of Christmas.  Just two weeks ago, Wesley’s daycare class put on a Christmas play at a local church.  He was “Joseph” and one of his little girlfriends was “Mary”.  It was possibly one of the best moments of my life to see him and his classmates tell the true meaning of Christmas.  Jena and I were so very proud of all of them.

Wesley was very excited in the days leading up to Christmas this year.  He made his wishlist for Santa and we promptly mailed it off to the North Pole.  Wesley’s 5th birthday came and went until finally it was Christmas eve.  He was so excited!  He got his bath, got ready for bed, and before going to bed he made sure that we laid out milk and cookies for Santa.  He finally went to sleep then Santa came without a sound.  Christmas morning, 5:37 a.m.; Wesley stirred and wondered if Santa came.  He ran into the living room, Jena turned on the tree, and he quickly scanned the area and determined that indeed Santa did come.  He opened with joy all of his gifts, Jena and I exchanged gifts and just had a wonderful time as a family.  Thankfully, Jena did not have to work Christmas day this year! 

Eventually, we made it out of the house and off to our parent’s house.  After making all the rounds and enjoying good food and the company of family, we were all pretty tired and ready to get back home.  Definitely a good time and one to remember!
