liam's first christmas!

We spent Christmas weekend in Rochester with the Berndt side of the family. We've decided to flip flop on the major holidays so next year it will be Thanksgiving in Roch. and Christmas in DL. Liam did great in church on Christmas Eve. The threshold of patience for the other children around us seemed to be about 45 minutes but he didn't get fussy at all. I hope I can still say this when he is 2.

Here's a run down of Liam's holiday activities:

He opened a few a lot of gifts
Posed with a bow on his head (daddy was not very happy about this one!)

Played with the sock monkey Santa delivered (whom Nana affectionately named Earl)

Tried to eat his stocking

And attempted to dismantle the ornaments in the window at Chester's

All in all, he did well considering he was up for hours past his bed time on Christmas Eve. We tried to get him to sleep at the great grandparents, but he knew there was a party going on and would have none of that (he is his father's son). Until we got him in the car. He was asleep by the time we backed out of the driveway.
