Baby's First Christmas 2012

We started baby's first Christmas traditions on Christmas Eve when Evan got to open his first present--pajamas!--at the Packard Christmas party at Grandma and Grandpa Packard's house.

 Evan woke up around 6:30 on Christmas morning, eager as ever to open presents.

We tried to let him unwrap presents on his own but he kinda failed so Mommy and Daddy helped him. Let me note here that I only bought Evan one present for Christmas: a rubber ducky. Let me also note that Evan had over 20 presents to open Christmas morning. He has very generous uncles and grandparents who are to blame for that. Consequently, present-opening took quite some time.

Really? A book for Christmas?

This is the point where Evan was so exhausted from opening his pile of presents that he sorta fell asleep. We let him open the rest with his eyes closed. His Giants and 49ers gear is from his Daddy and Uncle Josh. They must not know that Evan actually likes the Nationals and Redskins, like his Mommy.

Evan managed to wake up for a brief appearance on Skype to meet Uncle Nate who is in Bulgaria. Afterwards he tried to Skype with his Grandma Hudson to tell her about all the presents he got but he was a little too sleepy.

 We don't spoil our child.
