Our First Christmas

We enjoyed a very nice Christmas as a family of three this year.  I'll spare you tons of text and get right to the good stuff--pictures!!!

Christmas Eve night, we had Mason open one gift (Tony's childhood tradition).  Pardon the strange camera effects...I was experimenting, but not very well!

Mason eyeing the presents.

With a little help, he was a great gift-opener!

...and he really enjoyed chewing on the paper.

Mommy may have subjected him to a bow hat.

Still more interested in the wrapping paper than the present...I did have to get that paper from him before he ate it.  Don't worry; no paper was ingested.  

Mason did actually play with the toy on Christmas Eve, but I've failed to include pictorial evidence!

On to a few Christmas morning/day pictures...there were several rounds of present-opening to keep him happy and at least half-interested (hence the various outfits).  We started with the stocking (a tradition from my family), which is strewn all around him below.

 

At one point, he was tuckered out and napped right there on the floor where we were opening gifts!

Uncle Andrew and Aunt Ashley stopped in for a quick visit on Christmas night.  Mason sure is excited to have a new cousin soon!

Can't wait for next Christmas!
