Christmas Day-Finally!!

Yay!! Chase's first Christmas!! In the morning we woke up and Aunt Zandy held Chase while we had coffee and cookies and waited for Uncle Kyle. We were definitely starting to get spoiled not needing to juggle food and drinks while holding the little man! Zandy also graciously volunteered to hold the baby while we opened our presents first:) I didn't take very many pictures since Jas bought me a new HD video camera we were able to make sure Chase's first Christmas was well documented. Yet another thing for me to have to figure out how to load onto the computer, and hopefully post soon:) After having opened presents for a few days, Chase kind of got the hang of what to do. The wrapping paper of course was by far the most fascinating part. After a relaxing pajama morning we got ourselves together and put Chase in yet another adorable Christmas outfit to head to our last stop. We definitely felt like we were running for three days straight!

As you can see once I edit I can't undo the underlining. I'll figure this out eventually, let's continue...

We headed to my parents house for an early dinner. We Skyped with my brother and his wife in Wales, opened more presents, and had a nice quiet dinner with my parents and Chris and Julie. Since there was a threat of weather, and we wanted to beat traffic to get back home, we could only stay a little while.

Chase's First Christmas!

Present for Daddy-another lego car(hooray for little pieces)

It was a little chilly when we woke up

Snuggie buddies!

Time for a quick nap after opening presents.

Hanging with Uncle Kyle

As soon as we got to my parents house it was time to catch up with our family overseas. Here Chase is getting ready to Skype with Uncle Tim and Aunt Fay. Had to wear his hat from London for the occasion. Everyone was super excited to see how big Chase had gotten since it was October right before their wedding when we last video chatted. MomMom now also officially knows how to Skype and can't wait to do it again! I'm not sure who was more excited about the whole situation:)

Finally home in MD...again thank goodness for Daddy's car packing skills!

Here's a pic after the car was unloaded, and this wasn't even everything. Look at all those educational toys, Mommy was excited. It took us a few days to sort through things. BTW, did you ever notice that every year you accumulate a handful of stocking stuffers you never get around to using?

Now that our holiday adventure has come to an end, despite all of the traveling we had a wonderful time. Chase was surrounded with lots of friends and family for his first Christmas, and we are so thankful to have so many loved ones to celebrate with during the season. He couldn't be more loved or spoiled, but after everything he's been through we think he deserves every bit of it! Now its time to relax, figure out what needs batteries, and where to put all of his stuff!! Hope you all had as wonderful a holiday as we did.
