eli's first christmas


After much thought and careful consideration, Andy and I decided to travel home to our snowy West Virginia for Baby Eli's first Christmas! We are so glad that we did and loved, loved the time that we were able to spend with both of our families! What a wonderful first Christmas that our Eli had, even though many of his Christmas hours were spent sleeping "in heavenly peace". While no visit is ever long enough, Andy and I feel so blessed to have been able to spend time with those that we love this Christmas season and can hardly believe that it is over so quickly. Our holidays sparkled much brighter this year because of our most precious gift! We hope that you and your family had a wonderful and blessed Christmas!

...Driving home to snowy West Virginia...

...was a breeze for our snow bear. What a wonderful, wonderful traveler he was!
He slept the entire way...

...Baby Eli received so many wonderful gifts (including his very own doctor scrubs), but was quite content to sleep in his car seat...

...fun with new toys from Santa...

...so many outfit changes to fit in all of Eli's Christmas duds...

...Santa didn't forget our little Carmen...

...while we forgot to install the sun shades, Daddy rigged up the perfect block for our return trip to Louisville...
