First Christmas

You know the drill by now. Every holiday is multiplied by three for us. So Teagan had 3 first Christmases. We started at my mom's on Christmas day. We went to Christmas Eve service with my mom and then stayed the night there. We waited for my sister and her gang to show up to open presents. Meanwhile we just posed Teagan in as many shots around the tree as possible. Teagan cuddled with Jacob when he arrived. A 3-D version of Polar Express led to the fun pic with 3-D glasses of Nick and Tara (aka Brenda). The day was certainly memorable, even if mommy forgot her Christmas dress and any tights. Daddy drove the hour back home on Christmas night to retrieve the items for Christmas in New Jersey the next day.




Off to New Jersey to spend Friday morning with Nana and Grandpa. We left MD early, so a bath was in order when we got to NJ. Nana certainly didn't mind. Note the Elvis hair-do in the onsie after the bath shots. The aunts, uncles, and cousins arrived later and had much fun holding and playing with Teagan. Teagan also received her first "Giants" gear just in time for the Superbowl!



On Saturday, we went to Chris's cousin Alexis's house to see more relatives and introduce Teagan to many. It was great to see everyone, especially Chris's cousin Brian and his family who were up from North Carolina. The back of Joe was the best we could do to immortalize the volume of his hair-do.




After returning home Saturday night so Daddy could volunteer at church on Sunday morning, we headed to my sisters to have Christmas with my Dad. Petey, Jay's sister's dog, was visiting and very interested in everyone and being on the couch. Note my foot holding him back. KFC was the menu as we were all pretty tired by the end of Sunday.
Overall, a wonderfully busy four days not soon to be forgotten. Couldn't ask for a more wonderful life.
