Whew! What a busy day! Busy but so much fun!! After staying up so late, Evan slept in pretty late as well. He first started stirring a little after nine and Bruce and I were anxious to start our first Christmas as a family. When we went into his room to get him, he was all smiles...as he is almost every morning. We had some breakfast and then began opening gifts. Evan was just about as excited about the wrapping paper and bows as he was about his gifts.
After getting ready and packed up, we headed to RI to have dinner at Uncle Dan and Aunt Karin's new house. They put on a wonderful meal and Evan enjoyed the ham and twice baked potatoes. After dinner, it was time for a nap for the little boys. While Evan and Sean napped, we opened gifts. Danny was excited about all of his toys and could hardly wait until it was his turn to open another gift. Just as I began to open Evan's gifts, he woke up. I guess he didn't want to miss it! He must have been a very good boy this year because EVERYONE spoiled him...probably more than we did!
Christmas night, after video conferencing with Omi and Grandpa Bob, we went to Uncle Glenn and Aunt Chris's for the annual Dowding dessert and yankee swap. Even after such a long day, Evan was great! He spent quite a bit of time with Bumpa and shared lots of smiles and giggles with everyone. We spent Christmas night at Gramma and Papa's house so that we didn't have to drive as far. Once again, when we got home, Evan got a second wind and was not quite ready for bed. He spent some time sitting on Papa and Gramma's big bed being awfully silly!
What a wonderful first Christmas! Evan sure is a lucky little boy! And we are a blessed mommy and daddy!
