Christmas 2010 Part 1

It's time for Calvin's first Christmas! And our first Christmas with a baby. Spending Christmas with a little one definitely makes things more hectic, but fun too.

Just like every year we spent Christmas morning with my family. So we got Calvin all bundled up in his car seat to make the trip to my sister's place in Bridgewater. He had Tigger to help keep him warm.


Mandy always gets a real tree for Christmas. Because of the 2 babies there were tons of presents this year.

Luckily Calvin was in a good mood. Probably excited to start opening presents!


Look, Calvin even fits under the tree!


We had some dim sum and gingerbread for breakfast.


After breakfast we sat in front of the fireplace and attempted to take a family photo. You would be surprised how long it takes to get a good photo with 2 babies involved. You would never know it by looking, but someone just made a mess in their diaper...


Once we finally got a few good family photos and all diapers were changed, we started opening presents. Calvin was very greedy with his presents.


He even tried to claim some of daddy's presents too.

Phil even got a special present - a sleep and play outfit for Calvin with mops on the knees, so he can clean the floors when he starts to crawl.


Present opening is a lot of excitement though, so Calvin had to take a nap halfway through.


Calvin was busy sleeping and missed his big present - a baby jumper from my mom. I think Phil was more excited about it than Calvin was. Phil got right to work putting it together.


Even Calvin's cousin, Madeline, was pooped from all of the presents...


Madeline got a cute red winter coat, just like the cartoon Madeline.

After we finished opening all the presents Tam's brother and sister-in-law, Nahn and Veronica, came by. Veronica made a whole bunch of homemade cookies. They looked professionally made and were very yummy.

Calvin finally woke up from his nap in time to meet the new visitors. He seemed to really like Nahn. I think it's because he reminds him of himself - no hair ^__^

And now that Calvin was awake he was able to try out his new jumper. He seemed more confused than anything. He's a little too short and his feet didn't quite touch the ground, so we had to wedge a blanket under him. But he'll grow into it. Hopefully it'll grow on him and we won't have to carry him all the time.
