Noah is 3.5 months old for his 1st Christmas. He is laughing and "talking" or more like blabbering now. I'm not sure, but he may have some teeth coming in. He has been chewing on his hands nonstop and slobbering oh so much!
We did some DIY Christmas handprint ornaments for the Grandparents. They turned out so good! It was a challenge getting an infant's hand in the dough. For the last of the dough we tried his foot. This was much easier! By the end of it Noah was fast asleep in my arms. We tuckered him out! We now have a handprint and a footprint as memories of Noah's 1st Christmas to have on our tree each year.
I really don't want to take the tree down. I love Christmas decorations! I took another starburst effect picture of our tree this year. Our poor tree lost a strand of lights I guess we will be retiring it now.
We didn't get to take part in our holiday tradition of going to the Post Christmas Parade. The weather caused it to be canceled along with the Miracle on 34th Street Parade. It just didn't feel like Christmas! We did get to drive thru Texas Tech and see the lights. We even got to get out and take some pictures while Noah slept. This is a special tradition we do each year because it was our first date!
We celebrated Christmas with my parents on Sunday. They came to Lubbock and we ate Chicken Express and went out to Tahoka to see Santa's Land and on to Ransom Canyon to see the Christmas Lights. We go to Ransom Canyon every year! It's a beautiful site! Noah was having a hard night, so we called it a night after Ransom Canyon.
On Christmas Eve we went to Michael's parents to celebrate Christmas with them. We had snacks and opened presents. We went back Christmas day and ate the yummy traditional meal!

What a wonderful time we have had! It's such a blessing watching Noah grow and have all his 1st! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
