This year, we spent Christmas Eve at Granny's house. Much of the family joined along and the house was quite packed. I was worried about how well Ethan would do considering he refused to take a nap that day. Overall, though, he did wonderfully. E was initially a little shy around everyone and specifically wanted Mommy to hold him. He slowly warmed up and enjoyed hanging out with his family. Ethan especially enjoyed playing with is newest baby cousin, Lydia. While I held her, baby Lydia snoozed. Ethan liked to touch her feet, pet her hands, and attempted to touch her little closed eyes. I'm glad to see he SHOULD be gentle with little babies!
Christmas morning arrived with our typical 7:30ish wake up call. Ethan could immediately see presents under the tree and wanted to go downstairs to begin the fun.
He was so excited opening gifts but ultimately ended up losing interest.
We'll have to tell Santa to consolidate some of those presents next year! Our traditional Christmas morning breakfast of cinnamon rolls and breakfast casserole followed then we began our trek to Chris' family's house.
After waiting for everyone to arrive, eating breakfast, waiting for others to finish wrapping gifts, we FINALLY sat down to open presents. Many hours later, we continued to Aunt Carol's house for the McMillan family Christmas. Ethan was not the slightest bit shy this time and really was a crazy boy!
We had such a wonderful Christmas despite it being a very long day with no nap. I look forward to next year's Christmas when we have 2 BOYS to enjoy it with.
