Merry Christmas!

Last year you were barely a month old and you still didn't like me much (you wouldn't eat or sleep despite all of my best efforts), this was your first fun Christmas.

We spent Christmas Eve with Mimi and Papa. We had dinner at Cindy and Lon's and you got to spend some time with Sammy, Matt and Melissa's little boy. You were both pretty happy all night long and enjoyed dinner.

We came home that night and opened a Christmas Eve gift from Grandma Hardcastle -it was pajama's.

You woke up early on Christmas morning, but had to wait for mom and dad to get ready before we went downstairs.

You were excited to see the few things Santa had brought. He must have known you were going to get plenty of fun toys from your Grandparents, because he just brought you a few things. A couple of onsies, a fun book, and a Playskool Walk and Ride. You really liked the Walk & Ride and loved it when dad pushed you around on it.

After breakfast we went out to Grandma and Grandpa Lafeen's so we could talk to your uncle Bryan. You got way too many gifts there -including a bus you can ride and a fishing tackle box, that you may have to wait a few years to properly use!

You were exhausted when we left there, and you slept for a few minutes on the way to Mimi and Papa's for brunch. You were the only little kid there so you had plenty of attention, even though you napped for a while. Mimi and Papa gave you your very own baby -a glow worm doll.

From there we went to Grandma and Grandpa Hardcastle's. You had fun with all of the kids there, but went to bed early. We had decided that we were sleeping over since we knew we would be there so late. You got a few more toys and clothes from Grandma and Grandpa and had fun playing with everyone on Saturday too.

You're one lucky kid!
