Cole's First Christmas: Part 1

Cole's first Christmas was truly one for the record books. We went to four houses in two days, seeing relatives from both of our families. Cole was so excited from seeing so many relatives that he slept for the first time in a long time for four and five hours straight both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day night.
That was his Christmas gift to us, and to that we are thankful. Keith's Christmas gift to me was to have a DVD made of our wedding. This was a gift that was 4.5 years in the making. It was amazingly beautiful and hilarious thanks in part to all of our friends and their wedding footage using our video camera. (Peter & Shawn you are going to love it!!) Keith hired a co-worker who works in the media department at the Culinary and this guy did a great job. I couldn't be more thrilled. I also couldn't be more surprised. I was guessing all sorts of things (diamond earrings, gift certificate to Waddle n Swaddle, etc), but nothing prepared me for the DVD of our wedding. What a perfect gift.

Back to Cole's first Christmas. We started Christmas Eve by surprising Grandma at work. I wish I had a picture with the look on her face when we showed up, but unfortunately, I did not. The only thing we carried into the bank with us was Cole. So the following are pictures from Keith's father's house, where we went after visiting Grandma.

How cute is this little baby?

And then off we went to Keith's Aunt Sue's house where Cole helped open tons of wonderful gifts for himself. He is now officially an LL Bean baby thanks to Grandma.  

Here's a gift bag full of Cole...
