MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

Before we get to Christmas, we wanted to say HAPPY 70th ANNIVERSARY to Nana and PapPap Haas!! That's right, 70 years!!!
Last Sunday we went out for an anniversary dinner to celebrate!




Monday was a VERY COLD day with wind chills well below zero and daddy had the day off!! That evening, our friend Christian came over to visit and meet Charlie for the first time! He brought a very cute gift!



The CUTEST little reindeer outfit!!!!!!!!!




CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!!!!!
Sitting with Great Nana Jacoby...



Opening a gift from aunt Krissy...



... and getting a little distracted!



So many pretty things under the tree!!!!



BIG hugs and kisses for mama! (My FAVORITE gift!!!!)



Ok, can I take this hat off now???



CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!!!!!!!!
Charlie woke up so happy and excited! It was as if he knew that this was a VERY special day!!!!!!





This is fun!!!! What's next???!!!



Opening a few gifts with the kitties before we head over to Nona and Poppi's!!!!!!!!

Snapper is very much enjoying his new kitty cup!!



And Charlie is very much enjoying his new sorting toy!!!!



Heehee! Happy kitty!!!!



Charlie attempting to gnaw open one of the kitties gifts! Guess he likes cat nip too!!!



King Montel gets a turn in the new kitty cup.



MERRY CHRISTMAS, NONA!!!!!!!



Charlie was so excited when we got over to Nona and Poppi's!!! He was all over the place!

Crawling through the kitchen...



Hey Poppi!! What's up??



A little break with daddy to play with his Christmas puppy!



Ooooooo!!! More pretty paper!



And a BEAUTIFUL new stocking that Great Nana Haas made just for Charlie!!



Wow!!! Christmas is FUN!!!




Finally getting a little sleepy?



Nope!



Yeyyy! A sock monkey!!



And a new knit monkey hat from aunt Krissy!!!!



After a yummy breakfast and a VERY short nap, it was time for phase II of our day. Many, many extended family members come over to Nona and Poppi's house on Christmas afternoon to eat some more!!!!!

Charlie stealing a few moments with his Nona while she took a little breather from all of the food preparation! I swear this was the only time I saw her sit down all afternoon!







Charlie looks so little on Poppi's big cushy chair!



The center of attention, as usual!



Uncle Ellis and Jeff...



Saying goodbye :(
We had such a wonderful and exciting day!!!!! It was the perfect first Christmas for our little guy!!!



Friday we went car shopping and actually got a new (slightly used) car!! (We pick it up Monday!)

That evening our dear friend (and one of my clients) Bill stopped by Dave and Carols house to bring Charlie his Christmas presents!



Thank you so much Bill!!! We love you!



Saturday aunt Krissy, Nona and Poppi came over to our house for dinner and dominoes!! Mexican train dominoes!!!

Aunt Krissy having a snuggle with Montel! He LOOOVES his Santa hat!



Playing with Daddy and Nona...



We hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Merry Christmas everybody!
