Merry Christmas everybody!

Sean’s first Christmas was fun for all. First we flew out to Buffalo on the 21st to celebrate Christmas early with Grandma, Grandpa, aunts, uncles, and cousins (Daddy’s side of the family). Sean had fun playing with everyone. We made it back home (barely) and celebrated Christmas in Naperville with more aunts, uncles, and cousins (Mommy’s side of the family). After months of cruising along furniture, walls, Mommy and Daddy’s legs, etc, Sean finally took some independent steps on Christmas morning at the Harveys. YEAH!!! Good job Sean! It was a long day, and Sean crashed early (around 6pm) but we all had a great time.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Annalise definitely “gets” the idea of Christmas now. She recognizes Santa and says (or whispers) “Ho, Ho, Ho”. She had a great time when we went to Buffalo on the 21st to celebrate Christmas early with Daddy’s side of the family. She loved playing with and chasing all of her cousins. I don’t know if Grandma and Grandpa’s house will be the same! We made it back home (despite plane delays and lots of turbulence) to celebrate Christmas in Naperville with Mommy’s side of the family. Annalise’s eyes grew wide and all she could say was “WOW” when she came downstairs Christmas morning and saw the gingerbread house Daddy decorated and all of the presents Santa left. Annalise and Sean love playing with all of the toys that they received from family, friends and Santa. Everyone was so generous.
