Christmas 2013

Christmas is full of memories for us. Even before we had kids, this was a special day. Chris even proposed on Christmas Day way back in 2008. Here we are five years after that moment and celebrating our second baby's first Christmas. While it was a momentous day for Oscar, there is no denying that Walt was the center of the day.

We started our celebration on Christmas Eve with my family eating homemade ravioli and eggplant Parmesan. My sisters and I had an official recipe-training session at Thanksgiving so we can continue this tradition. 

Here is Walt coming downstairs (joyfully singing) on Christmas morning:


As you saw, Walt got a brand new kitchen which Santa and his elves spent more than four hours assembling....  He also scored big with a big boy bike!

Snazzy kitchen with modern appliances. Walt has great taste.

Hello danger!

Walt was SO excited to get this. He couldn't wait to ride it.

Oscar enjoyed the little toys we got him and definitely loved watching big bro. 


After a crazy morning, off we went to Gilmer to spend a few days with Nana and Papa (and have another Christmas celebration).  As this time of year tends to do, we were reminded how immensely blessed we are. Can't wait for a new year!
