Christmas Presents

Sometimes Christmas presents can be dangerous. Nick has not yet broken any bones, but I am sure this is the gift that will help him.

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Herod, Nick loves the pogo stick.

Christmas Morning

Nick was checking his stocking to see what Santa stuffed in it. He put in lots and lots of candy, some car puzzles/games, and he didn't forget the special electric toothbrush, for all those sugar bugs (Ha, Ha).

Christmas

What ??? Santa was here!!!!

First Present

It is tradition that we open one gift on Christmas Eve. This gift is always new pj's, a book (bedtime story), and a new ornament to put on our tree. This year when we got home from mass the boys opened their first present of the holiday season.

Ashe is not quite in his jammies yet but it was Nick who read him his first Christmas Eve book, "Daddy Snores."

Nick got new soccer jammies, the book "Mrs. Clause takes a Vacation", and a Darth Vader ornament for our tree.

Ashe got "Santa Helper " jammies, a bear Baby's First Christmas ornament, and the book "Daddy Snores."

Christmas Eve

We were asked by Father John to be the Holy Family at the 9pm Christmas Eve mass. Ashe was representing the baby Jesus. It was such an honor for our family. We had a great time. When we got there lots of families were coming up to us remembering many many years ago when their child playing baby Jesus. I am sure when Ashe is grown I will be doing the same thing. We sat up on the alter throughout most of mass. This was so nerve racking. I hate when everyone is looking at me and here we were having everyone look at us. It was so hot in these clothes and I was nervous. To our advantage Ashe feel asleep just moments before going down the aisle.

Smiles

I know what you are thinking this is not a really good smile. I am having a terrible time capturing it on my camera. Every time I try and use my lightening speed to take his picture the red light goes off for the flash and he stops smiling. I just wanted to post a milestone. Ashe has been smiling so much lately. He also coos a lot and for quite a long time, he likes to talk a lot like his mommy.
