My First Christmas


Christmas Eve started off bright and early with sledding.  I didn't get to go down any slopes, but I hung out with my cousin James and my Grandpa Steve and Grandma Janine.

After sledding my whole family went to dinner.

Christmas morning I woke up and opened my first presents with my Mom and Dad.  I'll be honest, I mostly wanted to eat my presents...


***
I then went bright and early to my Aunt Renee's.



My Great Grandma and I really bonded over the last few months because she helped my mom and Aunt Becky learn how to make stockings like my Grandma Nancy used to.  Grandma would rock me to sleep, while coloring with Lauren and fixing my mom's knitting.  So when I got to see her on Christmas again I was really happy!

After that we went to Aunt Nan's and had Christmas dinner at her house.  It was so fun being with my cousins and my favorite Aunts! I love being with them even though I don't take good naps so sometimes I get a little over tired. I love to have cousins to grow up with and to help me open my presents while I take little naps with my dad.

All in all I had a GREAT Christmas - it was so much fun getting to spend time with everyone all the time - I wish Christmas happened more often.  I got a pretty good haul too for my first Christmas, I am proud of it - especially the how my Christmas stocking turned out :) (the reindeer in the middle)!

Cute! I had to check it out after you told me I was in it. Though the sweet photo with me and the crazy arm was not on Christmas.

Claire, that stocking is so cute. I will seriously pay you to make some for my kids, none of us are that talented. Aunt Nancy would be so happy you guys are making those, I sooo wish you could have known her. And Sean is the cutest thing ever (besides Luke of course :) Merry Christmas!!
