A few pictures from Abe's first christmas

We originally tried to visit santa on Monday, but the line didn't seem to move. I asked santa's little helper at the front how long she thought it would take, and she estimated 5 hours! We decided to abort mission and try again the next day. My dad dropped Neil off at 7:30, and he stood in line for an hour. He was third from the front. We later came with Abe.

The Nordstrom's santa was pretty neat! They handed out hot cider and cookies. Santa asked us to hop in the picture too.
This year we celebrated Christmas morning on Christmas eve night. It was rathe weird. Here is Abe with his grammy and grandpa.
I got a this giant stocking at a white elephant exchange this year. I knew jacob would be stoked to have it. He always had a tiny stocking that barely held anything. Jacob's favorite gift from santa--the giant bag of skittles.
Look what santa brought us this year!
Abe and Daddy at the candle light service on Christmas eve.
Grandma with santa's little helper.
Abe got an exersaucer from his grandma and grandpa. It seemed to be a real hit, although I'm not so sure about all of the noises. Batteries may need to come out!

Oh and totally feel your exersaucer pain. I always turn the annoying little songs off but Madeline has figured out how to turn them back on for Allie. But the babes LOVE the 'saucers.
