December part 3 - Henry's first Christmas!

There's nothing better than Christmas with a baby. Henry was showered with love from his Nelson people.

Mommy and Grandpa Rick



Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Nelson





Uncle Tristan





And of course, Gramma Nelson, with her Christmas sweater that perfectly matches Henry's ensemble.



My parents hosted the Nelson family Christmas this year, so mom had the house feeling holly and jolly, homey and warm. It looks like we all made the nice list this year!


We spent Christmas Eve with Laurel, Rick and Tristan. Per our tradition, we had a delicious family dinner, followed by present opening (with a side of wine drinking).



Mom loved her Henry photo album (of course).



Dad got some duck hunting gear.






Tristan practiced being an uncle.



And Henry soaked it all up in his Christmas PJs.






Dad even got a book to help him better his grandpa-ing skills.



On Christmas day, the whole Nelson clan came over for dinner, presents, and merriment. It was so great to see everyone.












The cousins!



The ridiculously good-looking Greg, Tamra, Ali, Jenna and Aubrey.



All of the excitement tuckered out the littlest member of the family.



Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night!
