Christmas!!!!

What an amazing experience Fred's first Christmas was. On December 6 Fred met the big fat man for the first time here in Providence Village. It was a really fun experience, and Fred thought he was a pretty cool guy.




Fred's Dad and I discovered Fred's first tooth on our first night of vacation, then the week sped by. Fred was delighted to finish Christmas shopping, then the exciting time came!
Each year we get a picture done with Santa for my mom. This year there were four of us there, and it was Fred's second meeting with Santa. Here are some pictures...



Then, after the first big flash...

Fred got scared... :-(


At the beginning of the week we went to Frisco with Fred's grandparents and aunt and uncle.



It was important to us that we began some traditions this year for Fred's first Christmas.
On Christmas Eve we attended the candlelight service at our church with Fred's grandparents, Aunt Carla, Aunt Holly, and Uncle Phillip. It was a delight. After we left church we went to dinner at Prairie House, then we all went our seperate ways. Fred's Dad, Fred, and I went over to the big light show here in our neighborhood and parked and watched the show. It was a good time, and although Fred got distracted at times, I think he had fun.




The following morning the grandparents, Fred's Aunt, and Fred's Uncle came over to have a big breakfast and open presents.




After everyone went home and having a nap, Fred got ready and headed to the big family Christmas at Grammy's house.
