Parker's First Christmas

We had a wonderful time this Christmas. Parker decided that he was too excited about Santa to sleep so he woke us all up at 6am. We had a great time opening presents and seeing what he got. His Nana and Granddaddy even stopped by on their way to Grandma Griffin's house to see him and all his presents. Wally and I decided that since Parker wouldn't really understand what he was getting this year that we would each buy gifts for Parker, without out telling each other what we had bought. That way someone would be surprised and excited about what we were unwrapping. It was alot of fun and surprisingly enough we did not duplicate at all. The dogs as you can see enjoyed the bones that Santa had left for them too.




After we unwrapped all of our presents we went over to my parents (Gigi and Poppy's) house. All of my sisters were in town which was wonderful. We had a full house. Parker was spoiled as you all probably guessed. He got some great toys, clothes and new bath stuff. His Aunt Kerry got a new puppy for Christmas (Bella). He really liked watching and playing with her. She's quite a bit smaller then his dogs. Parker and I actually stayed at Gigi and Poppy's house for 3 nights while everyone was in town. It was easier than waking a sleeping baby and hoping he transitions well once we got home. Plus he could spend as much time with family while they were in town. Wally had to take care of our dogs and work some so he came over but went home to sleep. Great Aunt Laura and Great Uncle Ron came to visit the day after Christmas. He had fun playing with them and telling them all kinds of things (if we could only understand him). At night we played games. We had a new one this year called chickenfoot. It was a lot of fun. We played all 12 rounds and Poppy was the winner. Go Poppy!!! As always, all good things must come to an end. We had a great Christmas and are sad to see it go. We truely enjoyed visiting with all of our family.
