Baby's First Christmas

Three consecutive days of holiday parties with family, and our little social butterfly survived them all! Truth be told, he was pretty wiped out on Christmas Day, and starting to get fussy, btu he rallied when we got home and opened a couple more gifts with Mommy and Daddy.

The festivities began with the Ryan family's traditional Christmas Eve Eve party. He was looking quite dapper in a fisherman's sweater and plaid pants!

Will got to meet his second cousin, Kaeden, who is 3 weeks older than him. They were totally fascinated with one another.
Getting some quality time with Papa in his cute little jammies before we headed home.

Christmas Eve was spent with the Serafin family, at their traditional Polish celebration, Wigilia. The whole extended family was there, and we had a special visit from Santa at the end of the night. Will must've been a good boy this year, as many presents came his way!

Grammy and Dzia Dzia with all the grandkids: Jack (7), Ben (5), Sam (2), Will (5 months) and June (3 months).

Christmas Day began at home with a couple presents from Mommy and Daddy. He seems quite taken with the bow, right? The music set inside was a big hit, too, and we've been shaking the tambourine all.the.time.

The rest of the day was spent with the Stift family at Great Aunt Julie's house. I wish I'd taken a moment to snap a photo of the pile of gifts around the tree (covering half the living room floor)- it was nuts! It took a full 3 hours to get all the presents opened! Will spent some quality time with GeeGee and Grampa.

Finally, we settled back in at home and inspected the lad's haul. What a lucky little boy...not just to have all these fun presents to play with, but to have such a wonderful family to share his first Christmas!
