First Christmas Get Together


We have four family Christmas' every year and the first one is usually with Terry's mom, grandma, and brother. We celebrated together Sunday and it was so much fun.

Tyler came straight in from New York to make it just in time for the party.
We ate a quick dinner of carbs and cheese then settled in for a looong night of being entertained by a very hyper, toy-charged Micah.

This is a picture of him after he got "caught" opening a gift early. (How unrealistic of us to ask him to wait to open his gifts till they were all passed out!)

Granna, Tyler, and Mammaw are mind readers because they got Micah wonderful gifts that he would have chosen for himself. An elephant (Babar) book and stuffed animal, a train built of colorful blocks, and a microphone.

The microphone plays several children's songs and Micah immediately discovered his star talent as he sang and danced and shouted into it for what felt like hours but made us all laugh more than you can imagine.

Micah loved passing out the Christmas pictures he'd made everyone a few days before (colors, markers, glue, glitter, and paint makes for some festive craft time!). Here he is making the cards and then sitting amongst them (notice the pink lips from his very first ever candy cane?).
