First Christmas

Every Christmas Eve, the Kunze family eats brunch at the Bistro downtown. The owner, George, sits and chats with us and serves delicious mimosas.

Christmas Eve night, my mom hosts a get-together after the service at church. The Kunzes come over and eat appetizers and drink some wine before we head out to Utica for the night. I had to get this picture of Graham with his Uncle Scott because they both had on their blue button-ups.

Leaving MeMe and Pop's house in Christmas pajamas...and hat...and bib.

Good morning. Thinking about opening stockings before church on Christmas morning.



Susie testing her luck with scratch-off tickets - a classic Bruce stocking addition. Erin was the big winner this year - $5!

Everyone declared, "We didn't get much for Graham this year." That's his pile in the middle.



Day after Christmas - the Bishop Family Christmas. Eric is enjoying Thad's kids in MeMe's pretty family room. You can see her Santa collection on the mantel.


Graham waking up from a nap with MeMe.


Bailey held Drew while her opened his stocking, and then Drew helped Bailey with his.
Drew whispered to Bailey, "Your stuff is awesome." Too cute.


Pretty Hadley with Mom.



Graham and Hadley both received these bears that sit on the floor and play peek-a-boo with a blanket. I thought it might be scary but both kids loved them.

Bumbo



Doctor says we need to practice sitting up, so Graham is getting lots of time either in his Bumbo or between our hands on the floor. He's pretty strong, but he can only sit by himself for a few seconds. Greta was also practicing her "sitting" in this picture.

Giggling Graham

Sorry that it's sideways!
