Your First Christmas

Well, for being less than three months old and not even really aware of what's going on, I'd say you made out like a bandit this Christmas!  Santa filled your huge stocking with lots of goodies for you to play with and chew on.  You even got your very own cradle and doll, and a puzzle of your name.  Lots of cute outfits are waiting to be worn too.

 You got to spend time with Daddy next to the Christmas tree and you even saw your first snowfall in Michigan!

I'm not sure you liked the snowball that Daddy put into your hand though...Uncle Nathan captured your expressions perfectly.  :o)

 Grandma and Grandpa were happy to have everyone under their roof.  If you can tell by the pictures, Grandma held you as often as she could!

Even though you slept through most of the extended Briggs family Christmas, you were still greeted with lots of love and smiles.  You even got to say hello to your new 2nd cousin Bennett (via Great Aunt Mart's sweatshirt) and your soon-to-be 2nd cousin Baby Grunder (still in Melissa's belly).  All in all, I'd say the 14 hour drive, though long, was well worth it.  :o)
