Wow, am I behind…
It’s practically March and I am just now getting around to writing about Caleb’s first Chistmas… a bit behind, I’d say. I guess that is what happens when you try to balance being a wife, mother, teacher, sister, daughter, church member, mentor, etc… Such is life!
To be brief, we had a fantastic Christmas full of many blessings. We actually spent Christmas morning in our own home (which has never happened!) It was fun to wake up and do our own Christmas morning here with Caleb. He, of course, had no idea what was going on but was happy to be plopped in front of the Christmas tree so that Mommy could take a bunch of pictures. What a willing subject. :)
Caleb was also willing to wear this spiffy Christmas outfit that his great grandma gave him… so sharp!
We had a peaceful morning at our house opening presents and enjoying our first Christmas as a family of three.
Afterwards we went to Brandon’s parents’ house for Christmas brunch and more presents. :)
Caleb’s cousin Elizabeth seemed very interesed in “Baby Caleb.” :) She’s 9 months older than him but there are only a few pounds difference in weight between the 2 of them!
A few days later we packed up and headed to Cincinnati for a second Christmas with my family. As always, it was a wonderful time. Caleb was spoiled with more presents and got to spend some time with his great gram.
The month of December was filled with many “firsts” for Caleb. Of course his first Christmas… but here are some others:
First Santa:
First Christmas tree hunt with Mommy, Daddy, and Jersey (She didn’t make the picture… she’s there. I’m holding her leash):
First time in the big bathtub! My parents got him a “bath ring” for Christmas. It is the best! Bath time is such fun and Caleb LOVES sitting in his ring. :)
We are blessed!
