Bryson's First Christmas!

On Christmas Eve, we drove into Youngstown to enjoy the holiday with our families!  
We started at my mom's with a little get together before church!  Church was moved up to 4pm which worked perfect with Bryson's bedtime so we were able to go!


 After church, we went back to my mom's to open our traditional Christmas PJ's (even Bryson got a pair).   Then we were off to bed!  Angie and Chris even spent the night too!


On Christmas morning we woke up bright and early to see what Santa brought us!  Bryson loved each of his presents and was so excited to see every one!  His favorite present was a bucket, yes a bucket.  (A cute little gift from Aunt Gigi, a bucket stuffed with filled snowballs for a snowball fight)!  He also enjoyed all the wrapping paper!

Super cool car from Nanny, Poppi, and Aunt Mimi!

Mega-Blocks from Santa

Super Baby shirt from Uncle Chris!






After brunch, we headed over to Jeff's mom for a super fun day!  Jeff's Aunt Georgie, Uncle Dick and cousins Brad and Rachel made it in from New Jersey!  It was wonderful to see them and have them meet Bryson!  






 It was a wonderful and blessed Christmas!

Bryson 1st Visit with Santa



Today, Jeff and I took Bryson to see Santa for the first time!


It goes without saying that it wasn't much of success!  Bryson was terrified of him!  The binkie helped for a few minutes until he turned and looked at him again then the tears returned!


Oh well, maybe next year will be better!!!
