Christmas

Christmas morning...

Christmas Eve

Christmas was so much fun this year with Dean. We hosted a Christmas Party earlier in the month with our playgroup and Santa made an appearance. Dean did not want to be alone with Santa and take a picture so I had to go with him to get his present. Santa came back again on Christmas Eve and Dean only warmed up to him when we walked him to the front door to say good-bye. He did say bye to Santa and Thank you. Hopefully next year I'll be able to get a picture with the boys on Santa's lap. My parents were here from NY for Christmas so they got to enjoy watching Dean open presents from Santa. Dean had a really bad chest cold for Christmas so he couldn't talk too loud, but he was happy anyway.

Christmas Eve there was 4 of us assembling Dean's big present until 10pm. We had to hide it under a sheet so that Dean could open his smaller gifts without being distracted. He loved opening presents and just kept grabbing whatever was under the tree (didn't matter who it was for) and just started opening. Here is Dean's big gift, a train table. Unfortunately he messes the track up quite a bit and I have to spend a lot of time reassembling it.

Austin was cute for his first Christmas. This is one of my favorite moments when he was looking at one of his presents. He is such a joy to have around and gives so many smiles to everyone everyday.
