Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

So I thought I should probably get a move on in posting the pictures from Christmas since his birthday will be here before I know it. I just sent out his invitations, I can't believe how quickly time flies!

So Asher's first Christmas was absolutely wonderfully perfect. He took an awesome nap on Christmas Eve which was going to be questionable since he'd had such a hard week. His cold seemed to be on its way out and he slept Wednesday night great and didn't wake up until 7:30 on Thursday. So, we skipped the morning nap in hopes for a better afternoon nap and PTL, it worked. He woke up so happy and feeling great. Dinner was wonderful. We had a couple of old traditional Gruber (my mom's family) dishes and one of David's request that he remembered from his childhood. All of it was great. Asher enjoyed dinner too. He especially liked the kidney bean salad. After dinner we opened presents which Asher did with no problem at all. I guess all the catalog page ripping paid off because he ripped the paper open just fine.

Christmas morning was great too. Asher slept great again and his cold seemed to be gone all together. We had our traditional homemade Monkey bread and bacon and scrambled eggs. Granny and Papa came back up and Asher had a couple of more presents to open. He loved playing with all his new toys. Then off to the Perea/Mascari Christmas. It was great. Asher got to play with all his cousins which he loved and even hung on the couch with Uncle Craig to watch the Chargers pounce all over TN. An absolutely wonderful day.

Asher kind of had Christmas 4 days in row. The day after Christmas we headed down to Grams for lunch. He loves going to Grams, she has such fun toys. He loves the alphabet pal she bought him and pulls it all around to the house. We had a wonderful lunch at Brett's BBQ, yummy!! On the way home we stopped by Granny and Papa's so Asher could see the train under the tree before they took it down. He loved it. He probably would have sat and watched go round forever.

Finally back home on Sunday, Asher got to open a present from the Mascari family, he had already gone to bed on Christmas day by the time we opened gifts. How awesome, a t-ball set. He picked up that bat and ball and was ready for play.

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful gifts. We are so blessed by wonderful family and friends. We love you all and are so thankful for the village we have to help us in raising our son(s). We love you! Happy New Year!
