Very Merry Christmas


Santa has come and gone and now if only I could find a place to put all this stuff!:) I do believe Kaz got everything on my his list for this first Christmas. On the Eve we left cookies and eggnog out in hopes of beginning a tradition like most believers out there. I thought I'd give Kaz the opportunity to write his first letter to Santa...

Kaz's letter to Santa...he was more interested in eating it;)
Mornings are when Kaz is happiest...and that being said he woke up ready to go!

All ready to open gifts Christmas morning

Checking out what Santa brought

Having fun learning how his pop machine worked










Since Kaz has such strong legs and loves attempting to walk, Preston and I thought a walker would be a perfect gift. Luckily, he caught on quickly and before we knew it he was scooting around on the hard wood with ease. You could tell how proud he was of himself:)

Trying out his new walker
Kaz is one blessed boy, being surrounded by so many loving grandparents and even a couple great-grandparents, as well as many other family and friends that helped make sure that Kaz's first Christmas was special. Kaz received a fisher-price nativity set from his Aunt Vic just before Christmas. Obviously Kaz can't quite grasp the Christmas story and the real "reason for the season" just yet, but I know we will be putting those to good use in years to come in order to share of the baby in a manger and how he came for all of us.

"The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.” - Luke 2: 11 - 12
