Project 365: Day 6 – Christmas in January

My children are very blessed to be surrounded by people who love them. Tonight, they got to open presents from Jeanette & Scott. Originally, Jeanette was just supposed to be Navy’s babysitter, but over the last 10 months, she and her family have become very dear to us.

Lily was beyond excited and the pictures I got of her, she is feverishly ripping the paper off of her packages as fast as her little hands will allow. She’s is professional present opener. Navy has a lot to learn from her.
