christmas day

We were planning on spending Christmas day at home...just us.

But, my brother tore his ACL and so my parents cancelled their trip to Colorado.

That was a bummer for them and my brother who had to have surgery, 

but we were so glad to have them join us Christmas morning at our house.

Levi really was glad to see his Grammy.

He just wasn't too impressed with his first gift apparently.

They brought Levi his first ornament.

Another special ornament to add to our tree for next year.

Levi opened his presents from us next.

I hope he wasn't expecting lots of toys!

We decided to be very practical this year.

Graham crackers are Levi's favorite.

He was so excited to take his first bite.

We probably could have only given him graham crackers 

and he would have been happy.

He wouldn't let go of his cracker and opened the rest of his gifts with one hand.

His "big" gift was a new car seat.

He looks like such a big boy sitting in his new seat.

Joel was there too...

he was just busy unpacking Levi's first semi truck.

Thanks to our friend Al, Levi did get one fun toy!

This was Levi's Christmas Day loot.

I did a horrible job taking pictures on this day. Thanks to my mom we at least got these of Levi opening presents. My parents and brother spent the morning with us and we made a big breakfast. After they left all three of us took long afternoon naps. So nice. We went to my parents for dinner and to hang out in the evening. It was a wonderful, relaxing day.
