Ramsey's First Christmas -

Christmas... what a special time of year!   Ramsey and Riggs both had their first Christmases with us.  It was priceless!

As usual, the house was decked out in gold and red, garland strands, and flickering lights.

Since Ramsey has been crawling everywhere, we decided not to push the fires this year, except on TV.
Notice the lettering on the stockings.  We joked that we should have named Ramsey "William" or something that started with a W.

Before Christmas, Ramsey was busy poking around in the presents.  He was Mr. Curios.

Here are my boys on Christmas Eve day, before we started opening gifts.

And Mom and I with the kiddos too....

Big Brubby Connor with Little Baby Bro...

Missing from the festivities: Uncle Lance.  He was sick with the flu.  :-(
Dear Auntie Peggy was there with us in spirit.

And, of course, our beloved family members that live far away.

Here's Connor with his gigantic candy cane and stack of presents.

Ramsey enjoyed the bows, wrapping paper, and boxes that his presents came in.

He enjoyed his nice presents from all of us too!

Connor got some fun stuff too; more Mega Bloks and a Kindle Fire HD to name a few.

Eric opening a present from the boys...

And Riggs got lots of presents as well.  He was so excited, he would barely sit still.... and he wouldn't stop licking me.  I guess that means "thank you"?!?!?!  Actually, that's kind of normal behavior when there's a lot going on.  ha!

Here's Connor checking out all of the cool new features on his Kindle Fire....

And here's Eric sarcastically showing how he games with a hand-held, playing around on my old smart phone...  He says he got gipped!

Ramsey was enamored with The Nutcracker musical statue that Auntie Nancy, Cooper, and Kahti sent.

 Here he is donning his "big boy" pajamas that he got from Nana Karen.

After a late breakfast, everyone cleared out their stockings and Connor helped Ramsey open his presents from Santa.

What a very Merry Christmas we had!
