Dixon's first Christmas...


**Disclaimer** This is probably WAY more photos than anyone cares to see of our Christmases!
But it was hard to choose these few photos that made the cut for the blog! It was a fun filled BUSY day of party hopping and present opening.

#1 We started off with Christmas Eve at Grandma Gayle and Grandpa Dan's house. Dixon had so much fun playing with the Maltese and his Aunt Natalie and Uncle Nathan and Sara. It was a wonderful evening!

#2 When we got home we were surprised to see that Santa had came while we were at Grandma Gayles! Dixon opened his stocking and his gifts from Santa, before heading off to bed. It was amazing to watch Dixon crawl around with all of his presents!

#3 When we woke up in the morning we headed right off to Grandma Wendy and Grandpa Jack's. Aunt Maddy and Uncle Jackson were waiting paitently and Aunt Tasha and Eric arrived shortly after! It was a great morning full of love and laughter.

#4 After Grandma Wendy's Aunt Tasha, Eric, Adam, Dixon and I left to go to Grandpa Don and Grandma Chris's house. Uncle Colton had been waiting and he was a great source of entertainment as we opened our gifts and talked of Christmases past.

#5 Next we had an hour at home before we left for Grandma Patty and Grandpa Don's house. The house was full of cousins, aunts and uncles. It was bursting at the seams with love. :)

#6 We left Grandma Patty's house early to go to Grandma Marge's. Everyone was there waiting to see Dixon! He had so much fun crawling around the house with Grandpa Dan. It was wonderful to see all the family.

#7 Our last stop of the day was back at Grandma Wendy's for her Christmas night party. It was nice to end the day with a house full of friends, family and conversation.

It was a crazy day but we know that we are very blessed to have so many people who we love to share Christmas day with. We wouldn't have our Christmas day any other way! We have one more gathering left before our season is over and we can't wait until next year, when Dixon will be RUNNING around and loving to see all of his family!



Dixon LOVED this plastic Santa at Grandma Marge's house!

Not a creature was stirring, not even a Dixon.

It's hard to tell who is more excited!


Santa listens.





* I am worried that Dixon might not get enough attention at Grandma Gayle's...
