Max's First Christmas

Better late than never, but here is the Max's First Christmas post! The day started not too early, at around 7 (Max has been sleeping 'til 7 most mornings now! Seems weird that I'm excited about that...). We did our usual routine of eating, changing diapers, and drinking coffee, until my parents showed up at around 7:30. Then we Skyped with Megan and Kyle on one computer, and Jeff's parents on another, and they all got to watch as we opened our gifts!

Isn't technology great??

Christmas Morning

Max, of course, got a ton of presents. And I didn't even buy him much. His Grandmas and Aunt spoil him, so I knew my money was better spent on diapers and baby gates! Daddy was feeling jealous of all of Max's toys, so he had to play with one of them.

These presents were from Aunt Megan, and I love them. There are four different colored boxes, each with four colored items in them: a ball, a crayon, a fruit, and an animal. So when he's older, he can sort by color or category. They're a great educational gift, but he also just loves to chew on them! He also likes to drop things into the boxes. I am definitely going to find someone to buy these for. The big funny ball things are also from Aunt Megan (and Kyle too of course) and he loves to throw these, and they're super bouncy. The texture is really cool on them too. Both of these gifts are from Lakeshore, and I totally recommend them! (Attention: This is not a paid endorsement! haha)

Christmas Morning

It was a nice Christmas morning and we were surrounded by our loved ones, even if most of them were only two-dimensional.

We went over to my mom's later for dinner, where we were joined by the rest of the Tucson family.

Max was passed around and got lots of attention, which he's ok with! He sure has a lot of people that love him! We had a great Christmas, and I look forward to many more.
