We had a wonderful Christmas in the country. The white ground welcomed more snow all day long as we cuddled inside. The Hammans have a tradition of opening presents on Christmas Eve. The presents were piled so high- all over the house. It took us hours to open everything and even then we didn't get it all done! Hunter slept through much of the Christmas Eve present time, so he had a lot to open on Christmas Day.
Christmas morning was quiet and slow. We all slept in and relaxed. I took about a million pictures of Hunter. LaVonne made her famous blueberry buckle and we gathered around the table for a late breakfast. I was able to talk to my family via skype. Then we all opened our stockings and Hunter opened his gifts (with mommy and daddy's help, of course!). We ended the day by watching A Christmas Story . The Hammans had never seen it so it was fun to introduce them.
We had Christmas Dinner the next day with LaVonne's mom and stepdad. It was wonderful: ham, mashed potatoes, beans, beef with noodles, green bean casserole, and many tasty desserts.
I was so excited for Hunter's first Christmas! He loved the tissue paper the most!
How did I miss this and some of the other blogs!!! You are writing the history of a very important part of our family and doing a wonderful job. I love this picture too. This is Hunter concentrating. How smart he is ---how much he learns every day!
