Well, your first Christmas has come and gone. It was pretty awesome and I think you enjoyed it! As much as a 10 month old can, anyways. The preparations started with a long day of me, you and Daddy looking for a Christmas tree. Our condo is pretty small, and your growing collection of stuff makes it crowded, so we knew our tree was going to have to be on the small side. Since you are a crawling maniac and very curious, I was hoping we could find something that would sit on the table top, but after several stop and lots of looking, we couldn't find what I wanted, so we resigned ourself to no tree. When I mentioned to Nana we were going without, she thought it was very important that we have something for your first Christmas, so she bought us a small fake tree. With our very little collection of ornaments, it was a "Charlie Brown" tree for sure. But we loved it anyways.
We also took you to see Santa at the SSP, totally expecting to get one of those crying baby pictures. Not the case at all. While you weren't exactly thrilled to be handed off to a strange man in red, you did not shed a tear. As always, you were a brave boy.
That about covers the lead up to the big day... As far as Christmas itself, our celebration started on Christmas Eve. We went to church with Nana, Granky, Auntie Erin, Uncle Sean, Dillan, Andrew, Uncle Pat and Auntie Fallon. All the boys were good as gold. After church, it was back to Nana and Granky's for dinner and presents. You got lots of great stuff, but in true baby fashion, you much preferred the wrappings.
Next, it was home to wait for Santa to come. For the first time ever, you slept until 8 am on Christmas morning. Probably the best gift you could have given us! We did a few more presents at home, then started out on a long day. We went back to Nana and Granky's for breakfast, then to Auntie Nancy's for lunch, then Abba's for dinner, and finally Uncle Bill's for dessert. It was crazy, but you were great!
It was so awesome celebrating Christmas with you! Love you lots!
