Christmas Part One
January 6, 2009 Family, Happenings, baby 2 CommentsWe spent Christmas in Ohio this year.
I had my dad do some dirty work and he and Mom dropped by a special package for Jason (more on that later) a couple days before Christmas. During the visit Dad spent some time getting the train he lent us to work. I love how Alex looks up at his grandpa in this video.
On Christmas Eve we ate a delicious dinner at my aunt’s house and afterward Alex starred as Baby Jesus in our Nativity reenactment. Uncle Tommy and cousin Ginny played important parts as Joseph & Mary.
Alex’s uncle James, Bekah and aunt Jenna harassing the livestock:
Next we went to my parents’ house for a siblings gift exchange. We were there rather late and Alex even got his first peek at Santa Claus putting presents under the tree!
We drove back home that night so we could spend Christmas morning at home with just the three of us. This allowed for a late morning of gift opening and surprise projectile vomiting from baby. He still smiled though as he continued to gnaw on wrapping paper, which is way better than the toy inside.
We drove back down to my other aunt’s house for an early dinner and enjoyed spending time with the family.
Ah, family photo sessions. Aren’t they fun? Here’s one with Alex actually looking at the camera - thanks to the efforts of Mom C. (sans Tim & Kelsey who will be Photoshopped in later)
