Christmas in Toledo

With Christmas falling on a Saturday and some time off work, we were able to spend the entire weekend before Christmas in Toledo with Mimmy and Dzia Dzia. This was the first major foray into gifts and celebration for Emerson at this age. We were so proud of how gracious and patient he was! He waited his turn to open gifts, and was so excited with each one! And check out that stylin' new haircut!

An ornery little elf.

"My turn now?"

"Whoa!" (his response to nearly every gift)

I love the excitement on his face here...epitome of a child at Christmas.

Christmas Round One...a total success!
