Christmas Day

We had a wonderful Christmas Day. Preston's Mom, CiCi, and Paw Paw Bill came over early on Christmas morning. We made a big breakfast of pancakes, bacon, pineapple, eggs, juice, etc.
It was delicious. Logan did not wake up until after 8:00. As soon as he woke up we did our Santa presents.
The only thing he kept asking Santa for this year was a bell off his sleigh (just like the one in Polar Express). After Logan opened all his presents I told him to be sure there were not any more around the tree. In the back, he found a present in a familiar wrap (the same wrap Santa used on the Polar Express). Santa had remembered and his bell is now at our house. Logan is very excited.

After our delicious breakfast and Nathan and Logan opened all their presents (Owen decided to sleep late - until almost 10:00, so he did not open his presents until later) we packed the van and headed to Changed Lives Christian Center to serve and eat Christmas dinner with those who are less fortunate. Some of you may begin to recognize the name, Changed Lives Christian Center. This is a project that Preston worked on for quite a long time. It was the first big project for Place Design Studio.


After lunch we headed to the Brookwood NICU to see some of our nurses and deliver little presents to all the families there. So many of our close nurse friends were working. We loved getting to visit with each of them!!!! We feel so blessed to be where we are today compared to where we were last year. God has truly delivered through so much. (Reminder, Nathan had an unsuccessful surgery last Christmas Eve and the boys were at two different hospitals, still very critical.)

Our final stop was to my parents house. My sister, Ranae, and her family were there also. We had a wonderful time together.
