First Christmas!

We celebrated Little Man's first Christmas in Bend this year with both sides of the family. We stayed with Brian's sister and family along with his parents who traveled over from Montana. My parents also came over to Central Oregon and rented a house in Sunriver with Trav, Bridg and her parents and brother. It was so nice to have everyone so close!

Just like his previous presents, he was most excited about eating the wrapping paper and boxes. I tried to show him how exciting the rest of the gifts were, but he was more attracted to the shiny paper. Maybe next year! :)

Christmas Eve:


All dressed up for Christmas Eve dinner with Brian's family - I love how dapper Eli looks in his blazer!


Emma made us all placement cards - even Tristan had one at his high chair!


Eating his dinner of green beans - yum!


Christmas Eve photo opp - cousins in their Chrismtas jammies!

Christmas morning:

LOVE Eli's hair!

See, the box is half the present for Little Man!


These two are going to have so much fun together in the coming years!

Christmas dinner:
After an eventful morning, we then went over to the Donaldson/Danner/Beasley Sunriver cabin for Christmas dinner.

Lincoln's present from the Goodys/Georges - a tent, backpack sleeping bag and flashlight! He'll be able to set up this tent inside his parent's hotel tent while camping next summer!


All the kids trying out the tent


Lincoln and Eli patiently waiting for Grandma Beasley to give them glow-in-the-dark bracelets. Between those, the balloons and the tent - they had a lot to keep them busy in the Sunriver cabin!


Cute little boys - it was fun for them to meet :) It's great that Tristan has two boy cousins on both sides of the family who are so close in age!



Lincoln helping Papa open his present.


Nice try, Papa! Way to try and sneak that one in! But it looks like the joke's on you! How did your Huskies do this year?!




I just had to include all three of these pics - trying to get both boys looking at the camera at the same time is next to impossible! But they are so adorable!
