Adam's first Christmas morning!

Santa was very good to Adam, as Adam was a very good boy this year (or these 3 1/2 months)! He was even treated to a white Christmas as the snow from last weekend's storm is still lingering. We woke up around 7:30 and watched "A Christmas Story" while Andy got breakfast ready and the house cleaned up (what a great gift!)

Once we got the "all clear" from Andy, we headed downstairs, but stopped first for the traditional Christmas morning picture on the stairs. Liddy was so cute, the minute she saw Adam and I sit on the stairs, she came right up and sat next to me and put her paw on my leg--too cute!



After we snapped some photos we poured ourselves some coffee and mimosas (using our wedding champagne flutes, thanks again Kathleen) and headed in to see what Santa had brought.




To my surprise and delight Santa had brought the most adorable rocking horse for Adam which he immediately tested out...and then Andy and I had to give it a try! :) Liddy wasn't sure what to think of the horse, but I think she'll get used to it!






We started by unwrapping our stockings and had fun finding little treats like Starbucks coffee, baby lotion and soap, ornaments, new pacifier clips (courtesy of Cranberries and Capers) and of course the traditional travel sized toiletries!






Adam just kept watching all the bright wrapping paper being torn open and occasionally flashed us a smile to show his approval for his presents! In addition to the rocking horse, Adam also got a few clothes, big boy bottles, some toys, and lots of new books.



Santa was also good to Andy and me. Andy got a few sweaters, some games, and the new Vince Flynn book. I got some perfume, some wine, gift cards to buy new clothes, and a few movies. I guess that was reward for Andy and I being so good this year! :)



After the Christmas present opening extravaganza we headed into the kitchen for a great breakfast of egg casserole and more "A Christmas Story" watching!

It was the perfect first Christmas morning for Adam, and he was zonked out before we could even finish cleaning up! Next year we'll look forward to him being a little more mobile and perhaps helpful when it comes to throwing out all the wrapping paper! :)
