Ezra's Very Merry Christmas

So this year at Christmas we got to enjoy the best gift ever, spending it with our new baby! It's funny how things that were once so important are now a distant second at best as you watch your baby experience things for the first time. Ezra got a high chair for Christmas and we sat him in it while we ate Christmas Eve dinner. No one was really interested in the food though, we were all too busy watching him bang his toys on the chair tray and experimenting with the new freedom that sitting up brings.

While we had all had fun opening our presents, we loved giving Ezra his. Of course he had no real idea of what was happening but he had a blast examining each new gift as he 'opened' it. My dad got him his first set of wheels! Very fitting since my dad is a car guy! It's so cute and we know Ezra will love to zoom around the house with it!

We spent Christmas Eve with my family and then left Christmas day for California to spend it with Ever's family (we haven't downloaded those pictures yet). There we had our traditional dinner of homemade tamales with arroz y frijoles rancheros. So good! It was a tad louder there than it was at my family's considering that there are 5 brothers and sisters, Ever's mom, a cousin and three grand kids. It was crazy but a lot of fun to watch all the kids open their gifts.

This is our first Christmas with our first baby and there will never be another one like it. Ezra brings so much joy to our lives, it made this special season even more wonderful!

There's only one thing that would have made your Christmas that much more perfect...that would be ME.
;-) sorry we missed out on Ezra's first Christmas, but we got to see Kaye play an accordian instead.

I can't believe how fast Ezra is growing! It's amazing how fast things change! Brady was all stoked about his Chevron cars this year...where does the time go? Cute pictures of your family by the way! Love to see my favorite people!
