I'd like to begin this post by following the example of our sweet young son and paying homage to the Savior and the reason for all the celebrating. As the family all made our way downstairs, full of excitement for Christmas morning, our hearts were touched when we saw Dallen rush over, not to his presents but to the baby Jesus, lying in the manger. 
Dallen did a wonderful job of setting the tone for the entire day. He impressed me all day with how well he understood the true spirit of Christmas. There I was so excited to give Dallen fun toys and presents and he never stopped reminding me that it's about giving. He sat quietly with his arms folded as his Aunties and Uncle took turns opening their gifts.
When it was Mommy and Daddy's turn, he left the room and brought in the baby Jesus. I was so proud of my little boy and the sweet example he set for all of us this year for Christmas.
Don't get me wrong, he spent plenty of time enjoying his presents too :)
The last few days of December were spent with family and friends. Dallen was so lucky to spend lots of time with his adorable little girlfriend Siena. 
{I just love Dallen's "yeah that's my girlfriend" face in this photo}.
Dallen and I had the pleasure of driving up PCH to visit Siena again in Huntington on one of the most beautiful days we were in CA. The two were found racing under the pier, building sand castles, looking for sea shells, eating some grub and just plain being adorable:
{Um, engagement photo?!?!}
We spent the last night of 2010 at a super fun carnival. 
Well, it would have been super fun if we hadn't lost Dallen. I have never been so panicked in my life and am so grateful that my little boy was returned safe and sound so we could spend another amazing year together!!

Finally, a new year!! Dallen spent the first day of January loving on little baby Beckett. He just loves to hold little babies. 
We are so excited to begin another year of our lives together in our sweet little family. Here's to hoping 2011 makes this cute little boy a big brother...
