Merry First Christmas

This next year will be full of "first holidays", but none more exciting than Christmas! Our Christmas was lovely. It has always been an important holiday for me and this year was even more special being able to spend it for the first time with our new little family. Santa was generous, as well as the grandparents! Ashton was happy and so were we!

Now He's 5

Ashton had a happy birthday! Even though it is December, he wanted to go swimming! So off to the rec center pool we went! He invited his cousin Emma, his friends Ashton and Dominic from school, Zoe and Kalissa from Miss. Ginger's, and Parker and Tyler from church. He wanted to have a "How to Train Your Dragon" party theme, so it was :) They had pizza and cake, then opened presents. Ashton did end up getting the one gift he had wished for for weeks, a fire-breathing night fury! After partying we jumped in the pool! What a fun party for a winter birthday!
