Baby's 1st Christmas

Ben is having a good old time this December. He got to see his first snow. He made it through the ice storm, only having lost power for about an hour (thank goodness!). He went to the college Christmas party and was the most popular guy there (and didn't get upset by all the attention and noise). He sat on Santa's lap and was only mildly alarmed. He got a reindeer blanket toy in his stocking (we opened our presents early because we're getting ready to travel). Each night his mom sings Christmas carols to him, and he listens to his dad read out loud this year's Advent selection, The Midnight Folk. In a few more days he'll get to see all his grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousin.

What an adorable baby face. I might try to monopolize it over Christmas.

We LOVE that picture on the christmas card; he is so very adorable. It sounds like you have some good Advent activities going. Allison's been reading Jameson Dickens' A Christmas Carol and he naps listening to Christmas carols. We leave for OH in 2 days (ack!) and are going to be there for about 3 weeks.

Merry Christmas to all of you; enjoy your first Christmas with Ben.
