Aaron's First Christmas

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Come on, baby, drive South...

We're making the trip to Cincinnati this weekend to visit Grandma Lynn. We're a little nervous about traveling with a small baby, but very excited to be showing off our Aaron to Sarah's family (not to mention our ECC Family Camp buddies, who we'll see at church on Sunday morning).

Aaron is 12 weeks old already, so it's time again for a new portrait. Here's just one of what we took during yesterday's shoot:

Three little Christmas elves...

Okay, we couldn't resist such good fun. More than one of our friends has done this to themselves, and we just had to get in on the act. Click here for our silly Christmas greeting.

My Friend Jake...

Aaron has been enjoying play dates with his new friend Jacob Scacco. We met Jacob's mom and dad this summer during our Bradley childbirth classes, then discovered we also went to the same church and had tons of friends in common. Friendship seemed meant to be.


While out shopping last week, I saw some funny baby Christmas T-shirts. When we ran into the Scaccos at church over the weekend, we laughed together about what the shirts had said. Jacob has a very creative mommy, so when they came over yesterday, they brought a little present for St. Nicolas Day...

Yes, indeed, look what happens when Mommy kisses Santa Clause. :-)
