The first Christmas as a Dad.

Well, it came and went so fast, but Brooks celebrated his first Christmas. It all went off without a hitch. He survived all of the driving from house to house and being passed around like a hot potato. It makes it so much easier because he is such a happy baby. He obviously wasn't much into opening the presents due to him not having a clue what a present is yet, but he did latch on to one gift. He really likes this mechanical Spider Man that sings the "itsy, bitsy spider" song to him. Other than that he really didn't know or care about all of the "Christmas" festivities.

As for being a dad at Christmas, all I can say is... WOW! It was so much fun video taping everything. It made feel like a little kid again, heck I even got a brand new bicycle and it has a bell on it!!! WHEW HEW!!!! Anyway it was a great time to be with all of my family again. The only thing missing was the snow, but I guess you can't have it all.

We hope everyone has a great New Year.

It will only get better with each Christmas. Thank you so much for spreading yourselves so thin so that all the families could share in the joy of enjoying a new grandchild at Christmas. We loved having all of you around at this special time of year. This year has been truly special with all the good things that have happened.
May the new year bring many other good things to you, Alyson, and Brooks. Happy New Year!!!
Love,
