Evan's First Christmas!!!

This is a lengthy post with lots of pictures! We hope you enjoy being able to see how Evan spent his first Christmas. It is amazing how different Christmas is when you have a child. Christmas has always had a very special meaning, but this year was even more meaningful than ever.

All of this is because a baby was born...

Oh what fun we had!

We are already thinking about how much Evan will be in to next year. He really seemed to enjoy the paper this year, so I am sure we will have a hard time keeping him out of the presents next year!

It is amazing how one little baby changes everything!!!!
SANTA BABY...

Tie a bow around his neck and stick him under the tree...

On December 23, Evan got to enjoy Christmas a little early with our dear friends Mr. Mike and his BetBet. Thank you so much for his John Deere outfit, books and overalls. He is ready and waiting on that tractor ride!!

Christmas with Granny was so much fun! We enjoyed lunch with her on Christmas Eve. Nothing says welcome Christmas like a McDonalds cheeseburger!!

We love you so much Granny!

Evan LOVES his new rattle!!

Christmas with the Talleys was fun for all.
Evan enjoyed all of his goodies!

Thanks for helping to make his first Christmas so sweet. We love you!

Thanks guys for making Evan's first Christmas so special! We are so glad we were able to share time together! We love you!!

Last Friday morning, Evan went to visit Dr. Trumbull for his 4 month check up. He weighed in at 15.7 pounds and was 25 1/2 inches tall. He was in the 70-75% group!! He is such a big boy!! He had to get shots during this trip, but handled it like a trooper. His daddy had to take a seat away from Evan during shot time...I thought men were supposed to be the tough ones!!

Before Shots...All Smiles!!!


After Shots...Not So Much!!!

Last Friday night, Evan was exposed to cereal with a spoon for the first time....
He was not crazy about it, can you tell???
