Baby's First Christmas

This year was Stephen's first Christmas and what a Christmas it was! I am warning you now, this post has lots and lots of pictures, so get ready!

I got Stephen two ornaments this year and I love both of them. I got this one at the Nutcracker Market and on the back it says Stephen 2011.

This one looks much better in person. I couldn't get it to photograph well no matter what I tried. I ordered it online and love it as well! It says Stephen's First Christmas 2011.

Here is our tree this year.

Ok, now on to Christmas day. We woke up early and fed Stephen and all got dressed and out the door. Stephen and I had exchanged gifts the night before and packed (the whole house- ha!) so everything was ready to go in the morning. When we got over to Steve and Nancy's, Stephen and his dad went and got breakfast and then we all opened presents. Stephen got the cutest rocking chair. It's an airplane! He also got lots of noise makers, thanks to Papaw! Most of them say 2 years and up though so we may just have a garage sale by the time he's two! Just kidding, Steve! We will love all the noise the little boy makes!

Stephen looks so big in these next pictures sitting on his daddy's lap! My baby is getting so big!

Nancy really wanted an iPad and she got one!! (I hope you don't mind these pictures Nancy, I think they are great, but I know you don't like your picture taken so if you want me to take them down, I will)

Photobucket

She was so happy!

Look who else got an iPad.

They got each other iPads and obviously didn't know it! So funny!

Taylor and Cameron had come over earlier, but were waiting on their parents before they opened their presents. Shelley and Mike finally got there and they all opened their presents.

Photobucket

Cameron got a crock pot! He was so excited!

Photobucket

Just kidding! Both boys got an iPod touch. While they were both excited, here is the difference in how they showed it.

Shelley got a purse and a watch.

Here is the Mac guru setting up everyone's iPads and iPods.

We left their house before anyone else came over and headed over to my parents. My grandparents came in to town for Christmas and it was great having them there with us. We all opened more presents and got lots of great stuff! My grandma had sent money to me for Stephen, so I got him this chair from Pottery Barn. We brought it over so they could see it. I think it is so cute!!

I think he likes it!

I didn't take many pictures while we opened presents, but did get this one of my mom and her new purse.

Photobucket

This was another present for my mom, from my dad. Nice wrapping job, Dad! We were all impressed that he even attempted to wrap it!

Photobucket

It was a carseat for Stephen. My mom wanted to have her own carseat for him.

Photobucket

We just hung out for a while.

And then it was time for a nap!

Aaron and Jessica had spent the weekend in Dallas with her family and came over a little late. But it was great to see them and spend a little time with them.

It was a super busy, but fun day!

Later in the week we had Christmas with the Magruder's. Alisa, Terry, Madison and Zach came and we all had a great night together. We don't see all of them nearly enough!

We had a great dinner and then opened presents and hung out some.

Stephen kept staring at Madison's headband and she was a good sport and let him reach for it. He got a good hold of her hair!

Photobucket

Poor Madison!

We had a great Christmas with all of our families this year! It is hard traveling all over with a baby, but worth it to be with our families. I think next year we will have Christmas at our house and everyone can come to us!!
