Highlight of Christmas 2008

Christmas 2008 was good for the Wenck family. We celebrated Archer's 1st Christmas and Christian's 3rd. It was a busy week. It all started in the Texas Hill Country and spread all the way to Kingwood.

Some of the hightlights were me chatting with Christian at Gran's house after he had opened LOTS of presents. I asked if he had a good time, his reply, Yes. I then I said " you got lots of fun toys, huh?" his reply, "Yeah. Mommy, I love Christmas". Probably not the true meaning of Christmas we want him to embrace ultimately, but hey, he is a kid and he knows what he likes.

Another hightlight was watching the kids open presents and see what Santa brought.

Is it just me or do kids enjoyment of christmas make it just that much more fun?

Another highlight was a very real Christmas miracle.

Christmas day in Kingwood was filled with fun. Christian tried to make it thru without a nap, but ended up falling asleep on both me and Daddy a couple of times through out the day.

Archer was a trooper. He did wonderfully.

Friday after Christmas we had a chance to visit some friends. First we visited our friend Diego. His Mom and I met at the Avon 3 day walk in Dallas in 2002. Diego and Christian attended daycare together while they lived near us. We now get to see them in Houston. Diego now has a little brother Enzo. Enzo and Archer are just 7 weeks apart.

I think Christian liked it at Diego's house (that would be an understate really). He loved playing with Diego and his toys. Diego has a bunch of Lightin' McQueen related toys...most everything we don't have. Christian cried when we had to leave. However, we got some great idea for birthday presents for Christian.

After our playdate with Diego it was time to visit the Goerlitz house. The boys were with us for alitle while, then we dropped them off with DoDaddy and returned to the Goerlitz house for an amazing dinner (dinner is always amazing at the Goerlitz house).

After that playdate we went to dinner with Dodaddy. Then it was off for more grownup fun while the boys stayed at the house with DoDaddy.
