Just A Peek: Josiah's First Christmas

We had a wonderful first Christmas with Josiah. Throughout the holiday, we found ourselves so thankful for all of the blessings that God has given to us this year, especially our new little family member! We wanted to share a few pictures with you.

A bath to start off Christmas Eve day, before going out for lunch with the Mealeys.

Christmas Eve service at our church- everybody was very tired!

Christmas Morning:

Josiah loved his toys! It is really the first time in his life that he has cared about toys for extended periods of time, which was very exciting for us to watch. He loved grabbing onto them and pulling them into his mouth- this new skill has changed things a bit at our house this week!

Christmas day was just too much to handle, so we needed a break...

...Before we started in on more presents!

Great Aunt Nancy knit some cute things!

Then another super long nap!

Chris surprised me with my very own Kitchen Aid on Christmas morning- best gift ever! So while Josiah slept, I played with my new toy!

The best thing about big families is getting to do Christmas more than once. On the 27th, we headed to NS to have Christmas with family, and had a fun gathering with extended family so Josiah could meet them. Despite telling both of our families not to spoil Josiah, they totally did! Besides all of the cute toys in the pictures, he got some adorable new outfits (which he will be modelling in future posts!).
