Team Smitty LOVES Christmas!!
And what a great first family Christmas we had! We spent Christmas Eve with Aunt Lacie. It was unusually quite for us as we had a wonderful volunteer group come in and wrap ALL of the presents for us this year at Family House. We only had to do an hour or so of work ourselves and were able to go to bed at a reasonable time this year. Merry Christmas to the 'Rents indeed! We were so happy to spend the evening with Lacie and she took some sweet family photos of us showing Sky how this whole present opening thing was going to go down in the morning.
Christmas morning was magical! Sky really got into opening presents and playing with both the actual presents and the wrapping paper. He was thrilled! By the end he was getting perhaps a tad over stimulated and was pretty much constantly saying "Ooooooh!." Still he was having a fantastic time climbing around in the chaos. He had a large haul of loot as you can see from the photos.
point of note: why the heck is Sky naked or half naked so much? he had a diaper rash and needed some time without a diaper on. also, that black bear rug just begged for some naked baby pictures. don't worry though, we added extra money to his "therapy fund" to offset our shenanagans.
We all took a little family nap and then headed out for the traditional Christmas Day Chinese food. Sky liked that there was a family of huge inflatable snowmen in the restaurant and we were seated right next to them. He can't wait to try the food himself next year.
We then headed home for what turned out to be a nice long afternoon nap. Did we mention that Sky had played a lot that morning? It was a nice surprise for us. We then took a walk to Megan and Paul's house for a quick visit. Sky also wanted to stop by his favorite neighborhood holiday house for a last look and some photos.
Skyler would like to thank everyone who was kind enough to send him a gift this year. He really and truly has loved everything he has received. He would like to extend a special thank you to his Grandparents. They loaded this kid up with awesome toys! We are still putting them together today, so there will be more photos of his playing to come.
We hope that this finds all of our viewers in a blissful post Christmas daze as we are. We love you all and wish you all the best in the coming year!
Mushy Christmas Love,
Team Smitty
