Christmas 2011

This was our lil boy's first Christmas. We are grateful to have shared it with Nana, from California, and our extended family in Federal Way on Daddy's side of the blood line. Got to meet Aunt Jackie, Aunt Jenel, Uncle Warren, Cousin Patrick, Uncle Max for the first time... and saw those met at the family reunion in Shelton, Washington this past September.  Cam took the most adorable photo with Santa, mamma standing in front of the tree saying ho, ho, ho, merrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry christmas and pointing to the Santa ornament really helped him feel at ease with Santa... first shot was a money maker (as the photographer put it).  Enjoyed a lax day at home with both grandmas and uncles.. opened a ton of presents so many clothes, so little time (same with cookies).  Note to self look in the new dishwasher if I can't find a dish... haha.  Then headed over to gamps and gams on Marine View Drive to be with Auntie's Leslie, Christie, and Laura.. and cousin Martino too.  Such a great dinner, laughs, and warm holiday toasts with special mentions of Cin's Mom, Alma, who just adored Christmas and the tradition of family getting together and sharing a day of love and togetherness.  Cam wore his antlers without even a smidgen of protest... pic soon to follow.  All in all, a smashing success.. next year he'll be mobile, god help us all.  Here's to the New Year....
