Finishing up on our Christmas's
On Christmas eve, Nathan and I drove back home from Houston to be with Dan, who had been at work the last few days. Nathan woke up he next morning at 6am for his bottle then we all went back to bed together for a Christmas morning snuggle. We got up around 7:30 and started a fire and put on Christmas music!!
Then we made our traditional Christmas morning breakfast consisting of Belgian waffles and syrup! Nathan had his first taste of syrup and waffles and loved it, of course! Sugar and carbs....what could taste better!
Nathan was keeping him self entertained while we cooked breakfast.
Dan was helping him open his stocking stuffer which was his own set of real keys and key chains! Now , maybe he won't ruin my electronic car key with his slobber!
HE needed a little help getting his presents open...but it was cute to watch him try and do it himself. He still did not grasp the concept of present opening but he thought the wrapping paper tasted really good!
Yes, Nathan and I were slackers, we stayed in our jammies...the way your supposed to on Christmas morning, while Dan was showered, shaved and dressed.
It was so nice to have a quiet morning with just the 3 of us! It was a special 1st Christmas as a family of 3!After we had our morning together we headed to Dan's mom's house for the rest of the day. We had a fun afternoon with Dan's side of the family! Nathan got spoiled with all the wonderful clothes and gifts he received! And he had fun "playing" with his cousins!
Nathan and Mimi playing with his new toy camera! Audrey also had a new fun toy that Nathan wanted to play with, but as you can see below, his daddy beat him to it!!
He claims he was just "tuning it " for Audrey, but I think he just couldn't resist the pink flowers on it!!
Nathan with his cousins, Brandon, Logan and Audrey. Audrey was so nice and helped Nathan play with his new toys!

It was unfortunate that Nathan was not there to play with his cousin, but we had a great time socializing and playing with Meava.

Nathan with Mimi and PawPaw Dale.Nathan did his 1st official wave to PawPaw Dale today! It was so cute. He more flaps his hand than waves but it is a purposeful wave. He loves his PAwPAw Dale!!
After a fun afternoon, Dan and I headed home. We left Nathan at his Mimi's house since Dan and I both had to work the next day.
It was a wonderful evening as my brother, Lorraine and Meava came over for the evening. Dan had not had the chance to meet Maeva before and she took right to him! It was really sweet, especially since they said she does not really like men.
It was unfortunate that Nathan was not there to play with his cousin, but we had a great time socializing and playing with Meava.We also got introduced to Sprinkles cupcakes!! Wow, they were amazing. I mean you get as much frosting as you do cake! Of course my brother and I were not going to over do it by having a whole one each, so in Sarles fashion we split 2 and a half!!

My brother and i with Maeva.We truly had a wonderful 3 Christmas's despite the short amount of time. We are so thankful for all we received and we were definitely spoiled! I hate that Christmas goes by so fast...all the build up and poof..it's over. I always need a week or 2 to slowly come down from my Christmas high!
I hope to start making traditions with Nathan in the years to come and to ensure he knows the true meaning of Christmas and not just that it is present time.
