Christmas Extravaganza!

Charlie’s first Christmas was a memorable one. This year we spent the Sunday before Christmas with the Dobry clan, Christmas Eve with Horner family and Christmas Day with the Newsham family. (We missed the Dluzen family because we switch years in an attempt to spend equal time with all of our families, although I missed the polish sausage and desserts. Next year!) It was a busy week and Charlie was exhausted by the end, but it was nice to spend quality time with our families.

Charlie received lots of presents this year (shocking, I know) and has lots of new toys to choose from during play time. His present on Christmas morning from Santa was a Spider-Man ball pit. I am still not sure who likes it more; Matt or Charlie, but they are both getting lots of use from it. There are additional photos from the extravaganza in the photo gallery.

Santa Baby

Tonight we visited Santa at the Macy’s on State Street. We waited in line for 30 minutes and Charlie was very patient. He enjoyed watching all the other children and looking at the beautiful decorations. When it was finally our turn we handed him over to Santa and Charlie was all smiles. He stared at Santa in disbelief, “Is this really be him?” and then looked back at us and smiled.  Charlie was a good boy and it was a wonderful night. There are additional photos in the photo gallery.
