Our First Christmas

 
Anthony in Daddy's arm Christmas morning

Christmas was great this year.  It was our first Christmas as a family and we had so much fun despite Anthony being spoiled rotten!  We took a few pictures and a video of Anthony during the day since I got a new camera and I wanted to share those with you so that when I say "He' a growing boy!" you know what I mean.

Daddy and Anthony Christmas morning

The first item of business Christmas morning was to open presents at our house.  That was a lot of fun to take turns opening Anthony's presents for him, reading him his books, and letting him play with his dogs.  Steve and I built one at "Build A Bear" and then Santa brought him one that sings and teaches him the alphabet.
Anthony threw an absolute temper tantrum at Grandma Curtis' house becuase he wanted bread.  That's what is hanging out of his mouth!
The next item of business Christmas morning was to go to my parents house to open a lot more presents.  Anthony had so much fun with each of his new toys that he played with for 5 minutes until the next toy was opened.  My favorite I actually didn't get a picture of becuase I hadn't opened my camera yet.  Steve, Dad, Mom, Ellen, Debbie and Anthony were all sitting on the floor gathered around a car racing toy.  I think the adults were having as much fun as the kid.  We will definintly need to get pictures of that sooner rather than later!

Anthony gave Grandpa Dave some buidling blocks so when they got them out
Anthony took it upon himself to empty the bag for grandpa.


After my parents house we went to my grandma's house where Anthony got even more toys!  He sat in my dad's lap and attacked the wrapping paper off of his book.  It was so fun to watch!

Anthony loved the wrapping paper- it tasted soooo good!
  



This is my dad and his brother Bruce and the three grandkids that were born this year.
Brennan (March 8) is on the end, then Sydney (August 1) then of course Anthony (July 8).

More nap time!

Anthony eventually got tired and took a nap, Grandpa Dave was happy to take a nap too!


This is the morning after Christmas.  Anthony was sitting on our bed with his new dogs and looking a little scared of them.  He loves them now!


My little man!

We hope that you all had a Wonderful Christmas day with family and friends.  Merry Christmas!
