Christmas Day

We woke up on Christmas morning- Vake was NOT happy that I slowed down getting him out of the crib in favor of snapping a Christmas morning shot...
Once we got up, though, he was in a GREAT mood.

Here's my little Christmas elf with his letter from Santa Claus, who encouraged Vake to work on walking and talking this year.

And Santa was so generous with everyone this year!

Here we are unpacking Vake's stocking.

Vake really liked the orange in the toe...

I had thought he was going to be more fired up about unwrapping packages- he was pretty uninterested. Oh well.

I do have to say that he is a total snugglebunny of a little boy- he is VERY into handing out hugs, especially to Daddy.

And of course, a holiday would not be complete without Dennis and Domingo!

Vake, who is a GREAT shopper, got his Uncle Dennis a Snuggie.

Here we are, opening presents and trying out new modeling poses...

One of Vake's favorite presents was a set of serving spoons. Go figure.

So now we're fast forwarding to dinner- I had one picture left on my memory card- and we were able to capture Eric's perfect holiday dinner! Yum!!! He made standing rib roast and individual Yorkshire puddings!
