First Christmas

David spent his first Christmas surrounded by lots of family and friends :) Christmas eve we had a great time at my Aunt Janice and Uncle Dominic's house. Here's a quick shot of David in his reindeer outfit before heading out:

Here's David with his cousin Paula:

and Liz (David was so excited to get home to wait for Santa, he decided to take a quick snooze...)

In our neighborhood, Santa comes by on a fire engine on Christmas eve (I don't know how he finds the time to do it before delivering all of those presents!). The lights flash and sirens whirl as Santa comes down the street; we watched with excitement when we heard him coming!

Finally it was Christmas morning, and mom-mom, pop-pop, Aunt Lauren and Uncle Sean came by for a yummy brunch. 

These 2 are naturals! Just a few more weeks til Baby Byrne arrives!

It was a busy day opening all of the gifts under the tree...

We got lots of new stories to read at bedtime! Speaking of bedtime, here's David and pop-pop stealing a quick nap :)

The McSorley fam got together for a fun pic on the steps:

And here's a shot of our own little family by the tree:

Love this close up:

& a final Christmas shot of David looking at all the lights on the tree... 

Later Christmas week, we got together with the Delaney side of the family at our big Christmas party. David got to meet his 2nd cousin Henry, who's 3 months older.

Love how they're checking each other out!

And he met some of his other cousins too. Here he is with Jeff, and Ray:

To round out the day we also got a visit from daddy's cousins Kevin and Sue! David was real comfy watching football on Kevin's lap :)

We had a wonderful week filled with lots of love and laughter, just like the holidays should be. Couldn't have asked for a better Christmas :)
