So here are a few pics from our christmas. It is true, that when you see Christmas through a child's eye you enjoy it more. I never took the time I guess. I know that there is a lot more to Christmas than gifts but the innocent joy of it all is amazing and is at the heart of the true Christmas Spirit. Anyway here are some pictures of Hayden ejoying Christmas.
Here is his favorite toy puppy. He barks and licks and kicks his leg when he is happy. Best of all mom and dad don't have to clean up after him!
Here is Hayden and Dad enjoying a new book.
He sure had fun opening gifts this year.
And his neat basketball hoop from Santa. This kid is not spoiled or anything. This one actually helps out with his therapy!
We had a good time this year and focusing on the true meaning of Christmas always makes the season better. This year we were able to spend Christmas with almost all of Jared's family and I must say that is where you can find your greatest joy is with family. It was a great year and it was hard to have everyone go. Quite a few people got sick so that was not fun but the time that was spent together was good. There was a lot of games being played, stories told (maybe a little embellished), and memories made. I always seem to forget my camera at these things and there was a lot I hope that I remember.
Also some family that lived near-by moved across the country after Christmas. I didn't realise that they were really going, at least not how it would feel to not have them close. I usually do that and I am so excited for them but I miss them already. Hopefully the whole family will get together soon again for a good celebration.
Hope that all of you had a great Christmas and that this year is the best yet!
Love the Cranes
