The Christmas holidays were lovely and quiet this year. Although we had everyone up to our house for Christmas dinner, we mostly stayed in doors just enjoying the company of our friends and family. Liam is still a little too young to understand all the fuss and bother. He's not in a rush to get to bed at night in order to wake up early to open presents. He's not in awe over the Christmas tree (just wants to take off all of the ornaments and put them in one of his boxes). He doesn't really get Santa, he's just happy to go sit with anyone. Here is is official Christmas photo with Santa- forgive the darkness as I had to scan it in.
We didn't go overboard with presents. Liam got tons of toys and clothes for his birthday- just 2 weeks before the holiday. We bought him a few bigger toys, a couple of small toys, smaller stocking stuffers and some more clothes (I'm still not sure when he'll get a chance to wear everything!) I also hit the sales after Christmas to pick up more bargains for him... more clothes! He really enjoyed ripping the wrapping paper off of the presents. We got him a Fisher Price Geotrax which he won't really be able to use until the summer or maybe even his next birthday. He has so many toys for 12-24 months, that I had to get him something a little different (plus I got it at a brilliant price).
And I picked him up a cute little robe to wear around the house.

Looking like a little elf...
"Okay mom, let's eat some bananas!"
You can kind of make out his new teeth in this one- 3 on the top!

I know this is a little mean, but I couldn't resist putting his long curly hair up in a little pony tail!
I went all out for dinner and made everything from scratch. Oliver helped with the turkey and made the roast potatoes, but it was all me for everything else. Stuffing, cranberry sauce, herb butter, wheaten bread and cheesecake for dessert. The cheesecake was a bit of a disaster, but edible- need to get a better recipe... suggestions are welcomed!
