A Very Merry Morina Christmas

We spent Christmas 2009 in Pearland with my family. It was a wonderful Christmas and Santa was super good to us all. I think Santa got the memo that Caleb was an angel this year because he got so many toys, we weren't able to fit them all in our car to get home.

Enjoy the pictures of our the Morina Christmas.

A Howell Family Christmas

We celebrated Christmas with the Howell family on Sunday evening. Nana & Papa had us over to their house for dinner, socializing, and presents. We had a great time and I think Caleb enjoyed all the wrapping paper and toys.

They brought back a hand puppet for Caleb.

He loves his toys.

Thank you for the fun new toy.

Braden, Caleb, and I feel so blessed to be able to share the holidays with those we love. We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas.
