Our Finnegan Family: Christmas

The (Other) Finnegan Family Christmas

The Finnegan family Christmas took place a little later this year as we waited until we could all get together to celebrate. This was Eli and Isaac's first Christmas with Papa and Grandma! It was fun for all of us to get together for a couple of days. I think we had a relaxing morning and everyone just got up when they were ready. We did presents around 10ish and Nana and Papal came to watch everyone. We enjoyed relaxing and catching up with one another.

All the grand kids made a frame for Mom. Each grand kid put their hand print on a tile.

Eli's First Christmas

Christmas morning finally arrived at the Finnegan household. Cody and I were more excited for Eli's first Christmas then he was! He slept til his usual time (8:00am) but Cody and I were up by 6:30am! We decided to get Christmas PJ's for each other and a stocking. For Eli, we decided to get him 3 gifts, a spiritual growth gift (Praise Baby DVD), a practical gift (no slip socks), and a fun gift (stacker cups). He also got a stocking that included his first silverware set, a wooden race car, and a book.

The first gift...

A Weaver Christmas

I know this is a VERY late post, but I'm slowly trying to catch up with my blogging. We celebrated Christmas with my family on Christmas Eve. It worked out well because we could still have our first "family" Christmas at our house on Christmas morning. (Hopefully I will blog that soon!) Anyways... we loaded Eli in the car as soon as he woke up Christmas Eve morning jammies and all. We had a yummy breakfast at Mom and Dad's and then gathered in the family room for a devotional lead by my Dad. This has always been a tradition with my family. We used to take turns leading the devotional, but now since grand kids have come into the picture, Dad usually leads the devotion while Mom supervises the flannel graph story. It was fun to see Eli interact with the story this year, and Zach was so patient as Eli would take a sheep and put it floating in the air. Zach would put the sheep back on the ground and Eli would take it off again:) When the devotional was over, we opened presents and then enjoyed a YUMMY lunch! What a special Christmas with my family!
