To take a short break from Christmas pictures, last week Todd starts laughing and says I have to come in the living room right away and to bring the camera. Never one to miss a picture opportunity, I come running.

This is what I see.

He was perfectly content. And this is why:

He was looking right at Todd through the leg hole, talking away. What a silly little guy!

Meal time

Aunt Marty took some great pictures of Calvin eating his dinner.

Thanks Aunt Marty!

Christmas Day

 We all had a very busy and fun Christmas day.

The Christmas elves passed out presents in the morning.

 Millie had to see what Calvin got.

 

 More family arrived in the afternoon.
Great Uncle John did a wonderful job keeping an eye on Calvin.

 We had a cookie decorating station to make cookies to give out to local groups that serve our community.

Little did I know I had relatives so talented at cookie decorating. 

  It's always nice to spend time with family.

 Todd made a wonderful standing rib roast.  

Mmmmm yummy!

 After dinner we moved out to the back porch. Calvin was not about to slow down.

 That is NOT a yawn. He was habitually clearing his throat for attention.

Again, thanks to Grandma Sarah and Aunt Marty for their great pictures!

Merry Christmas!

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! We've had a great few days full of family and fun!

On Christmas Eve, Calvin opened two presents. This is him with the first presents.

 He needed a little help to get it started.

On to present number 2.

It has tasty paper, too.

                                 Tastes good with...               or without the paper.

 Thank you to Grandma Sarah and Aunt Marty for sharing their many pictures with us. 

 More Christmas pictures to come!

Early Christmas

 Last weekend we headed to Chicago for the Traut Family Christmas. Friday night we headed to dinner. 

Had to bundle up in the Windy City.

 Calvin loves to get rowdy in restaurants now.

 Calvin got to play with some fancy toys.

 Saturday we ventured out to the suburbs for the party. Calvin put on his holiday duds and

 got ready to meet the family.

Snuggles with Grandma.

 Hangin' with Grandpa.

 Great Uncle Eugene and Calvin Eugene.

 Calvin was super squirmy for Kate

 Calvin loved his family, and his water bottle.

 First Christmas celebration down. Several more to come.

Yay! Holiday fun!
