Blakeslee Blessings: Our First Christmas Celebration

Saturday, the boys celebrated their first Christmas at my mom's house. They had a very busy day, 2 baby showers and an evening Christmas celebration (with only 1 small cat nap on the car ride down to Grandma's).

We had a GREAT time with them and have come to grips with the fact that there "stuff" will soon over take our home :) Grandma and Grandpa got them their first push and ride toys, and so far they have provided some great entertainment.

Uncle Mark and Aunt Cherie bought them a milk pitcher w/"cookies" in it that moo's when tipped...Wil loves to chew all the cookies! They also gave them one of those deals that the little animals pop up w/you twist or push the knobs. The boys are experts at closing all of them, but haven't mastered how to get them to pop up, or how to get their fingers out of the way to push them down (lots of tears, trying to figure that part out).

Aunt Shellie bought the boys TONS of great books. We've enjoyed reading A LOT this week, lots of Dr. Seuss and baby Einstein books!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I love having books that they can play with and not worry about pages missing in the future!

Wil also decided all he wanted for Christmas were his 2 front teeth. Saturday morning I noticed they are starting to come through (it appears he won't have a HUGE gap like Drew does :)) Drew also got his 7th tooth Saturday, so as you can imagine, there has been lots of motrin and tears in the Blakeslee house over the last few days!

Last night, I also decided it was time to find a better way to make bath time easier on me, since Dan is often gone at night. So, we decided to try out the big tub. Needless to say, these little buggers would have stayed in until they were raisins if I would have let them. There were a lot of tears when it was time to get out. But the important part was, it was easier for me and they LOVED it.
