First Christmas

I know I'm late with this... but, so much has been going on and we've been out of town... and I'm just behind. So, if you're just now getting around to reading my blog make sure you read that last two also (1st tooth and Santa!).

Wow, we survived the holidays!! We started out by going to my parents the weekend before Christmas. Which made it only an hours drive. We just hung out... no Christmas yet. It was a great thing to do because then it made it only a 3 hour drive down to Houston instead of 4... which was a life saver!!! Lincoln hasn't always done very well with long car rides!

Oh, here's a picture of Lincoln with the first Christmas card we received... which happened to be from my parents... I think he liked it!
We left the lakehouse and made our way to Houston on Christmas Eve Day. We headed to Brad's mom's (Gramma) house. We have always done Christmas Eve with her. She makes this amazing lasagna! We have friends over, play games and eat good food... it's tradition! One of our friends had a baby girl not but a couple of weeks after Lincoln was born. Her name is Jai'Anna... I'm not sure how they spell it (sorry!).
They became fast friends....
And, here's a picture of Lincoln on one of his gifts that he got from Gramma. Isn't he cute!?
So, on Christmas day we were off to the Pereira's to be with Brad's Dad's side of the family. Lincoln got to meet his Uncle Taylor for the first time. By the way, Taylor is getting married this weekend... wish Lincoln and I could be there... congrats Taylor and Krista!!
We were having so much fun... but, had to take off. We had another house to go to!! We went to my aunt's house to spend some time with my mom's side of the family... they hadn't met Lincoln yet! Here's one of Lincoln opening a gift from Maw Maw.
And, again... we were having so much fun... but, had to take off. Lincoln was getting tired and we were actually spending the night at Brad's Dad's house. So, we made our way over there, settled in and went to bed. It had been a long day! The day after Christmas we opened gifts with Brad's Dad. We also went down to Kemah to have lunch at this great little Greek place. Driving down there you can still see the damage that Ike caused!! Here's one of us... Lincoln's first view of the ocean.
Pops and Lincoln spending quality time together...
Alright, after Pops and Nona's we drove back to my parents at the lake... for Christmas with my parents, brother and sister-in-law!


After a couple of days there... we finally made it back to Dallas.

Did you get all that??

We had a really really great time! We loved seeing everyone!! And, Lincoln did so well... all the travelling, sleeping in a different place every couple of days, being passed around from stranger to stranger..........

I don't know how he did it!!

I hope everyone else had a merry, Merry Christmas!!!
