First Family Christmas

Well even though Channing is only 4 weeks old he is already having his first Christmas. Next year we will make it a big deal since it will be his actual first Christmas where he can get into things and really enjoy it.

We started off our day by opening the one small gift we had gotten him, a tug boat!

 I am sure he will love it once he can actually start playing with it. Then we were off to Chase's parents house to do gifts with them and the kids and to see what Santa brought the kids. Let me tell you those kids are spoiled. They had so much stuff everywhere but it is so worth it to see their smiles on their faces when they open something they really wanted. We spent the morning with the Hargroves and had breakfast and relaxed for a bit before we needed to head over to my dads side.

Around lunch time we headed on over to my dads house for Christmas with them. Channing made out like a bandit. He got so much stuff and he has no idea about any of it. He just sat there like a good boy and watched all of us opening presents while taking little cap naps!! He is just too cute!! We had a wonderful lunch with the family before we headed on home to unpack the car and relax for a bit with just us as our new little family.

As tradition goes that night we headed back to Chase's parents house for game night. We were all dressed in our pjs or comfy clothes and sat around the table playing games while the kids played with all of their toys and Channing slept right through it all.  It was a great first Christmas for us all but I really can't wait until next year when he will hopefully be walking and into everything so it will be more fun!!!
