Caleb's First Christmas

Long Post Warning! There were many pictures I wanted to use for this post, and I tried to keep from doing a slideshow so that I can have these when we publish. SO, I'll try not to be too wordy.

Christmas Eve, we went to Uncle Jerald's and Aunt Kay's for lunch. It was so much fun being together. We missed you, Daniel and Ashley! Grammy and CalebGranddaddy and Caleb

Christmas Eve night, we spent time with Jonathan's family, and I don't have any pictures - but I know someone who does...AUNT HANNAH! I'll post some later once I track them down. It was tons of fun getting to have dinner, open presents, and play!

This year, we started our tradition of being at home on Christmas morning.

Completely engaged in Sully and not the presents :)

Caleb in his new bike trailer / jogging stroller from Santa...what fun! And his new puppy.

We're pretending this picture was taken Christmas morning. We had to wait on the jogger kit to come in. This spring, Caleb will be ready for the outdoors!
Couldn't take the fun any longer! Recharging for his 3rd round of presents

Next, we headed to my parents' house. Caleb slept the whole way and was refreshed and ready to play when we got there. It's a good thing, because he got a lot of exercise wheeling around in his new toy!

Looking for the men! I think Caleb was tired of hearing all of the "lady talk". Needed his Granddaddy-fix!

Caleb, we look forward to teaching you about the true meaning of Christmas. It's such a wonderful time of year (as well as everyday) to celebrate Jesus and who He is in our lives! There are a lot of fun traditions we can share as a family in the years to come as well. Reading the Christmas story, Christmas PJ's, putting cookies and milk out for Santa, spreading reindeer food in the yard, mailing your Christmas list to Santa and many more! Most importantly, we will always take time to remember why we are celebrating Christmas! We love you!!!
