With grandparents aplenty, Brendan celebrated his first Christmas asleep. No kidding. He was awake enough in the morning for us to go through his stocking, then slept while the rest of us opened presents. We figured no problem, he'll be awake when Grandma and Grandpa Hall show up, and we can open his presents then. Two o'clock rolls around and they shop up and guess who's fast asleep again...
Yes we know it won't always be like that.
Finally around five he woke up enough we finally opened up his gifts. Ranging from toys to a couple more hockey jerseys.
While his first Christmas was non-eventful in some respects, we are looking forward to the years to come when instead of sleeping, he'll be awake by 3:00am trying to wake us so he can open presents.
We did establish one thing though...the boy knows who the Denver Broncos are. If we have something Broncos on the TV, like a couple of DVDs Bri got me, he would watch as intently as I was for short periods. He will also do that if we have hockey on.
Speaking of hockey, here is one of his jerseys. We are confident that Brendan may be the only infant in the US with a Canucks infant size third jersey. He also got a Team Canada jersey.
With Pam and Norm here for Christmas Brendan has gotten plenty of attention. Norm being Norm (at least he remembers Brendan is his grandchild this time around) he has referred to the boy as...she...with quick correction from three other voices in the room.
All in all it has been great having them both here in the screwed up weather of Dallas Texas where we've had freezing days followed by nice mild days, and the chance of thunderstorms mixed in. Versus the massively white Christmas being experienced in Vancouver. Mr. Stowe they to thank you for shoveling their driveway.
Also if you are wondering where more pictures are, I will try to get a slide show going on the side bar from Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Brendan and his parents.
