Merry Christmas!

It was a good Christmas. My parents and sisters were able to escape the snow in the Pacific NW and make the drive down to Tucson. They arrived on the 23rd. My Grandmother was supposed to fly into Phoenix on the 23rd, but due to the snow she rescheduled for the 29th. She missed X-mas proper, but we saved her presents for her. We hope that she can make it down here still, but the weather in the NW is unpredictable right now.

Lincoln had a good first X-mas. He thought that the wrapping paper and the stacks of presents looked pretty interesting. He didn't have too much interest in the opening of presents or what the boxes contained...but some of the wrapping paper, boxes, and bows were good enough to play with. Pretty typical baby stuff. Lol.

He got lots of cute clothes. Onesies, play sleepers, and shorts/t-shirt sets. Everyone did pretty well buying ahead of him with 9-month to 1-year sizes. He is a very large boy and is almost completely in 9-month clothes, although we still pour him into some 6-month stuff. ;) He got some good toys and other fun baby goodies (bibs, teethers, pacifiers, books, etc...). All in all a pretty good haul for a 5 month old!

Here he is opening up his 1 obligatory X-mas eve present. A cute "I'd rather be camping" onesie. He liked the box, and once we got the onesie out of the plastic, he promptly started exploring it by putting it to his mouth (see pic). Please forgive the baby-boobies, as he was pretty warm that evening so we opened his sleeper to help cool him off.

Here are Andy and I on X-mas eve.

Here is my mother helping Linc open his stocking on X-mas morning.

Here is some fun playtime with daddy Andy in the evening.
