We were blessed to be able to spend our first Christmas as parents with our precious son and most of my family. We woke up early on Christmas morning and opened gifts with Frankie. Even though he does not know what Christmas is yet, I was very excited to share my favorite holiday with him and start the Christmas morning tradition at our house. After we opened gifts, we loaded up the Tahoe with everything imaginable and took off to Houston. I swear I don't know how we fit everything in! That truck was loaded to the brim. You would have thought we were moving in, not just going for a week-long visit. Baby Frank did well on the drive, sleeping for the first 3.5 hours and then waking up and fussing for the last 45 minutes. We did not want to stop to feed him on the way there, but it was just a little bit too long of a drive for him to stay happy. We learned that we need to make sure to stop and feed him next time!We spent Christmas afternoon with my parents, my brother, and Frank's great grandparents. He got to meet his great grandma Mammy for the first time, which was very special. He got lots of great presents from Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Tyler, Aunt Allison, great Uncle Andy, many of our wonderful friends, all of his grandparents, and all of his great grandparents. My mom cooked a wonderful turkey dinner that we all enjoyed on Christmas evening, and we had cake to celebrate Mammy's birthday. It was a wonderful, but exhausting day! I know that Christmas will be so much more special now that we get to celebrate with our baby boy.
Here are some pictures from Christmas at our house and with my family:
