We opened presents at our house a few days before Christmas since we were out of town on Christmas day. Perry was awake quite a bit earlier than Mills, so he had to wait (which wasn't a problem since he didn't know there were any presents waiting for him) for Mills to wake up. The plan was to feed Mills a quick breakfast and then do presents. When Mills woke, Alex got him out of his crib and changed his diaper and from that point on Mills was an absolute wreck. He started throwing the BIGGEST fit we've ever seen from a 14 month old. He wouldn't eat, wouldn't snuggle, wouldn't calm down despite everything we tried--to the point I had to just put him in his crib for a while. He calmed down some and I went back to get him, this time he was much better off. It's kind of crazy to realize, but we think the whole incident occurred because of Alex getting him (instead of me) and that he changed his diaper first thing (a new thing that Mills detests). Wow! Anyways, he definitely spoiled our happy little plans for a while, but eventually we were all ready to see what was waiting.
Perry had been asking nearly every day to open his stocking, so he was excited to hear that it was finally time.

It was a pretty simple and sweet Christmas for us. We are mostly thankful to be celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus.
