Evan had a fantastic first Christmas fill with lots of love and family time with a few naps along the way. We started the holiday celebration at home on Christmas Eve where I made a rookie mistake...no pictures. Then Christmas morning we went to mass to celebrate the birth of our Lord. The rest of the day we spent at my parents' house.
Daddy helping Evan open his first gift. He did it all by himself even if it took him forever. Evan was blessed with many new outfits to go along with his growing waistline.
The first toy he, or should I say Kade and Liam, opened was a John Deere dashboard, which for now is one of his favorites because his goal in life is to get the throttle in his mouth.
Kade and Evan enjoying some cousin time while Liam went outside to ride a horse with his Dad.
Later on while Evan was sleeping the rest of us enjoyed a few games of bingo. Before we got started we had to teach Derick how the game is played. By the look of intense focus going on I think we created a monster. Watch out bingo halls Derick will be coming to take all your prizes.
Kade made the game very entertaining with his overzealous method of rolling out the numbers. Sometimes he was chasing them across the floor because they flung out of the cage. He didn't quite understand the concept of slowing turn the handle.
The Sunday following Christmas we went to my husband's side. We had a wonderful meal, opened gifts, and had some great conversation. Evan as you can see was worn out. He spent most of the afternoon sleeping while we installed my mother's-in-law new outdoor lights and took down her outdoor nativity before it got cold. When Evan finally woke up Grandma read him some Christmas books.
