brendan's 1st Christmas

we had an even more special time this year celebrating Christmas as everything we did was brendan's first time.

we decorated the tree as usual and then added a couple of new ornaments as he received them.

we made a visit to see Santa at a local toy store.

we bought new stockings to hang on the mantel.

we enjoyed the very nice Christmas eve candlelight service at our church and sent Christmas wishes to family afterward.

santa came for the first time and worked hard on Christmas eve building brendan's new jumperoo.

brendan also received the Jesus storybook bible so we enjoyed reading that version of the Christmas story to him for the first time.

we really had a wonderful Christmas, especially sharing it with our little guy this year.  can't wait to see what next year's will hold!
