Christmas Fun!

Nash's first Christmas was so much fun!  We loved having both sets of parents here in California with us.  The weather was pretty rainy, so we were not able to do to much.  However relaxation is always the greatest part of the holidays!
In my family Christmas breakfast is the main feast.  We choose our favorite breakfast and my mom makes it.  Sometimes we have a HUGE amount of food such as steak, eggs, fried potatoes, and of course hot milk toast or creamed eggs, all in the same meal!  I love this tradition but was not motivated to do that much work....so we all chipped in and had some yummy crepes and scrabbled eggs.  YUM YUM!

Opening presents was so relaxed. It was nice to sleep in, get ready and eat breakfast before we opened presents.  I don't know when we will have that kind of Christmas morning again!  
My brother Kedrick's family gave Nash the cutest lumber jack outfit.  He looks like Elmer Fud when he is wearing it.  I will take more picks because it is so dang cute!
Nash received so many fun presents.  Thank you to all! I can't believe he is big enough to play with toys!  It is scary how fast kids grow up.
I don't know what Christmas was like before our little man!  Christmas just seemed to mean more this year with Nash.  It was fun receiving presents (Darin spoiled me too much this year...do you think he feels guilty about leaving me for 5 months?)but I think the best part of the whole holiday is the time spent with family!

Merry Christmas!! It looks like you had a good Christmas. I agree, I think Christmas with kids makes it so much more fun! I had tons of fun watching my nieces and nephews open their presents.
