matt and i didn't buy chet any christmas gifts.
not one.
and do i feel bad?
of course. i mean, who doesn't buy their first child any gifts for his first christmas?
we didn't plan on depriving our little buddy of gifts. it just happened.
and chet didn't care.
he got plenty of gifts from other people. and he wasn't very interested in opening any of those. so i am sure he would have been just as unenthused about any gifts that we bought for him.

so, call us bad parents if you'd like. but i am going to tell myself that we are extra good parents because we taught chet the true meaning of christmas this year! (kind of!)
here are a few snapshots from the past week:
these are the 3 youngest cousins in the leavitt family.

chet is right smack in the middle of them. haden is 5 weeks older then chet and rachel is 5 weeks younger.
we sat them in a circle with a cookie in the middle. the dads thought it would be entertaining! but it didn't turn out to be the brawl they were hoping for. each kid just took a turn slobbering on the cookie before passing it on. eww.

we had a special nativity program this year with a girl joseph.
christmas morning.
matt was not impressed about posing for this cheesy photo.

or this one.
