Christmas Celebrations!

Merry Christmas! I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas festivities this past weekend. We had our Christmas Eve tradition of an evening service at FVBC and then soup in bread bowls at the Huff's. We always read some Christmas stories and open one present. It is a special tradition with the family and having Charis there made it all the more (but definitely more distracting - how do you keep a 4 month old occupied during a solemn reading of a Christmas story?)
Christmas day was spent all over the place. We had our own little Christmas in the morning. Josh made his infamous omelets and monkey brains. Then we had Charis open her presents (before she fell asleep for her morning nap). When she was asleep Josh suprised me with a pink Blutooth headset for my phone plus lots of fun GIRLY movies! Yea! I got Josh the Indiana Jones trilogy, Jonathan Edwards bio and brown shows. (Who buys another person shoes? But he actually likes them.)
We went to my parents around noon and opened more gifts ("Huff university" apparal, my wedding album, cute clothes for Charis and Josh got two nice suits). In the evening we went to his parents house and had prime rib - yummy! They spoiled Charis with great toys, Josh with a new journaling ESV Bible and me with gift certificates to my favorite restaurants. Afterwards we watched Pirates 2 and again I can't wait for part 3 to come out so I can see the resolution to so many unanswered questions of part 2.
Just when we thought it was all over we saw the youth at the church when we got home so we invited them over. They stayed very late, but it was fun to hang out with them. It was a great Christmas and, like most of us, there is still more to come with friends and family.
Oh yeah, Charis update: She is on a new schedule that works great yet she is becoming more aware of her surroundings so feedings and naps are getting harder for her to submit to. And I am trying to teach her to roll over! So fun!
Merry Christmas!

I am so darn cute!

I didn't take the time to comment about the poop pic. I say it is a wonderful thing she is able to let it all out. Don't want it all to get stuck in there. As far as pictures of the poop go that may be a bit questionable. There are some lines that a proud parent must cross to show their childs bowel movements to the whole world.
