Your First Christmas!

On the day before Christmas we went to Uncle Tommy's and Aunt Debbie's house to celebrate with the Santmyer's and Smith's. Unfortunately, Great Grandma Santmyer fell and broke her arm on December 23rd and she and Pappy were not able to make it to the gathering. All of us missed them terribly. Great Grandma and Pappy spent every Christmas with us in Richmond, while your Momma was growing up and how we wished they had been able to come. You were able to visit with cousin Andrew who is growing by leaps and bounds.

Christmas morning is here! and you were cruising in your Pooh walker.

The Christmas tree was surrounded by wonderful gifts for the best little boy---you.
You were not quite sure what to do with all those pretty boxes.
But you saw one thing that you always want--Grandma's camera and you headed straight for it.
Christmas 2011 with Momma and Daddy!
You decided that climbing the stairs would be a lot of fun.

Momma and Daddy bought you a Christmas Mickey Mouse hat on their trip to Orlando.
You were too cute for words and wore the cap for quite a while.

Your favorite activity was shredding the tissue paper and then trying to eat it, just like you did with your present at Thanksgiving.

So many fun toys!

Grandad Gammon came up from Richmond and you showed him how you can climb up the stair from the living room to the dining toom. Grandad made his traditional Christmas breakfast.

More toys!

Such concentration.

Grandma is so blessed to have such a special grandson. I love you so much!

After your nap, you were able to play with all of the toys that Santa delivered!

You love your alphabet train from Pat and Katie!

Momma made a great Christmas dinner. We all missed Great Grandma and Pappy but Pappy made a great dinner too!

At the end of the day you decided that the reindeer and Mickey needed a ride on your car.

It was a wonderful first Christmas and Grandma enjoyed every minute spent with you, Momma and Daddy.

Love always, Grandma
