First Christmas

Christmas Day is always exciting! Last year, I was largely pregnant on Christmas and we stayed in the Twin Cities and enjoyed a wonderful meal with friends who also happened to be expecting and without family in town. This year, we woke up with Charlie at home to open a couple of presents. Yes, we had just rolled out of bed!





We had an uneventful drive and enjoyed several days with family. Charlie found this rocking chair (mine when I was his size) and took to it! He also decided that walking would be his main mode of transportation on Christmas Day. He'd had the ability but hadn't fully committed to the practice until we were at Grandma and Grandpa Beauchamp's house!














Charlie received a Radio Flyer wagon from his grandparents. Mark began to put it together as soon as we got home. As soon as it came out of the box, Charlie knew what to do. This wagon continues to bring him much entertainment!

Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year to all! Love, the Nicholsons
