Christmas!!

We had a wonderful first Christmas with our little man!  He did really well for the most part was a little overwhelmed on Christmas Eve and Christmas day but it was so nice to see lots and lots of family.  Drew really got into opening his Christmas presents and boy, did he get a lot!  What a lucky little man.

As for me, Christmas has definitely taken on a new meaning.  I have always loved the holiday but since having Drew, it just makes it that much more fun.  I can't wait to have lots and lots of Christmases with him!

Onto the pictures!  Here we are at Frankenmuth celebrating grandma Shaw's birthday.  Drew's grandma Todd bought him a santa hat and he loved it!  And of course, he looked so cute!















For Christmas Eve, we always celebrate with Steve's family at Steve's mom and dad's and later with the whole family at Grandma and Granda Shaw's!  Of course, we had a lot of fun!  And Drew had lot's of fun with Uncle Chris.  He sure did give him a workout!





















We spent Christmas morning together as a family before heading over to my mom's.  We loved giving Drew his presents!!!  I think he had fun too.  :)

















Next, we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Abela's house for more presents and good times.  I love this picture with Drew and my dad:















Next, posing with Nanna Farrugia:















One of Drew's favorite toys this Chirstmas was this light up toy Grandpa Abela picked especially for him.  He loved the lights and was mesmerized by it!!















I love the little dude's face in this one!
Spending some QT with Nanna Abela:

Finally, we were off to Uncle Reno's house for some time with my family.  By this time, I think Drew was ready to be done but he was a trooper!  He loved playing in his cousin Eric's ball pit.  Hmmmm, birthday present idea??

Drew (and Nanna) even got to see Santa Claus (thanks, uncle pete!!) one more time before Christmas 2010, came to an end!




Finally, some video of Drew opening his Christmas presents:

And of Drew hanging with Santa:

All in all, it was a wonderful holiday and I am so happy we got to spend it with Drew and all of our family!  We are so very blessed.  :)

First Visit With Santa Claus

We weren't sure how Drew would act when we took him to see Santa and I have to say, he did great...for the first 1/2 of the visit!  As he sat on Santa's lap, I could see he started to get uneasy and when we picked him up, he was very close to tears.

The tears finally came as we started to walk away and I have to say, he cried all the way home.  I think he was a little freaked out by the big guy but we at least managed to get one picture!
