Abe's First Christmas Holiday

Hello Friends!  

Here I am at my Uncle Johnny and Aunt Corey's house for my very first Christmas Eve celebration.

I am having a wonderful time meeting my family.

 Aunt Cassi was very nice and talked to me like I was all grown up.  I liked that.  She knows all about little kids because she has three grandchildren of her own!

I think I am in love!  Hannah is not only beautiful, but VERY sweet!  I wonder if she will be my first date...

 Grandpa Joe just taught me how to play the drums!

How cool is that?

I bet Grandpa Joe will let me play with his glasses...

 Well, that didn't last very long.

Poop!

 Mommy gave me my monkey and I have to admit, he tasted MUCH better.

Mommy always makes everything okay...Daddy does too!

I sure did like my first Christmas Eve.

Christmas Morning...

 I love our Christmas tree and can't wait to see what Santa brought me!

I also have presents from my family.

Clothes?  Mommy looks happy.

 I was hoping for something a bit more "toyish"...

When I grow up, I am going to invent flavored wrapping paper!

Mommy is trying to explain to my dog sisters the toys are for ME and not them.  I don't mind sharing...as long as they share THEIR toys with me.

Daddy looks pretty happy with his card.  I hope being a grown-up doesn't mean you don't get presents.

 Now this looks interesting...

Is that all there is?  Oh, wait!  Auntie Brooke will be here soon and she gives the best presents ever!

A bit later...

 Daddy fixed some appetizers for our little dinner party.

Auntie Brooke is here...

 Is it present opening time yet?

 Here we go!

 Oh boy...an Ashland University jacket.  I like it, but shouldn't I have one with my Day Care name on it first?

Books!  I love books.  This one is called the Polar Express and Oma just promised to take me on the famous train ride when I get a little bit bigger!

Wow...

A book about cats!  Lucy wants to read it too, because she loves chasing cats.

I loved all my presents, but I have to admit, playing with wrapping paper is the best!

We had some nice family time.

 Oma LOVES the painting our friend, Brandon, did of Hitty.

She REALLY loves it!

 I decided to leave Grandpa Joe's glasses alone and play with his mustache instead.

I love my Grandpa Joe.

 Time for some crab legs...for the grown-ups.

I liked my pears and sweet potatoes just fine.

Did you know you need scissors to eat crab legs?  I hope Grandpa Joe will cut mine open when I can eat them.

I can't forget to mention my Uncle Steve, who spent the whole Christmas holiday with us and took some of the pictures on this very blog story.

Uncle Steve is the best!  He is going to take me bike riding when I get bigger

How lucky can a little guy get? 

I loved my first Christmas!  I got to meet new family members, open many awesome presents...including my new clothes, and also found out Christmas is really the day we celebrate the birthday of little Baby Jesus.  My mommy and daddy showed me our Nativity scene and told me the amazing story.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and I also hope Jesus had a Happy Birthday!

See you next time...

Love~Abe
