My First Christmas

Noah's first Christmas was so much fun!!! We spent Sunday afternoon at our house exchanging Christmas gifts with Preston's family. We had a great time with them. On Tuesday, Christmas day, Preston, Noah, and I opened up presents with Noah after telling him about the reason for Christmas and why we share gifts on Christmas...because of Jesus. Noah loved pulling off the bows on all of the presents and trying to crawl underneath the tree once all the gifts were gone. After we finished celebrating at our house we walked over to my parents house and spent the rest of Christmas day with them. We played games, opened presents, ate, watched movies, oh...and ate some more. This was truly one of the best Christmas' yet! Noah is just now realizing that he got toys, he was so overwhelmed with the papers, bows, boxes, and bustle that he looked over everything else. He loves all his Tonka trucks, his Little People farm, and the little Learning/Singing chair that Aunt Kristin gave him. He tries to climb the chair (which is just his size) to get up on the couch. Its quite a site. He is becoming more and more mobile everyday!! I pray everyone else had just as blessed of a Christmas as we had!

Here is Noah during his first visit with Santa Claus! He was very intrigued. Santa said he could have whatever he wanted.

SNOW SNOW SNOW

We finally got our first snow of the year! We've been keeping Noah inside and warm. But here is a picture of him in the snow. and having playtime with mommy.

Christmas Shopping

It is so much fun Christmas shopping for Noah. I know he won't care about his gifts much this year (he will go for the paper and bows instead), but I can't help but get into it! This is going to be such a great Christmas for us since Noah has joined our family. Next year will be even better since he will be big enough to enjoy his gifts. He is such a sweet little ham!

This year I even had a calendar made with Noah as the "main feature" every month. Its amazing what Walmart will let you do (haha)!
