Chase's 2nd Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas to you all!  We had such a fun time experiencing Christmas with Chase this year. 

We had a very busy and blessed holiday weekend.  It's become Henderson tradition to celebrate on the 23rd to work around our brother in laws HPD work schedule and ensure we can all be together for the day.  Gloria prepared a yummy dinner and we exchanged gifts.  Chase got the hang of ripping wrapping paper off packages and saying "thank you!".

Making sure he fit in his new swing :)

Chase & Parker- love these boys!

Tunnel time!

We spend Christmas Eve with Chris' extended family.  We attended Christmas Eve mass and headed over to Aunt Gail and Uncle Rick's for dinner and the annual gift exchange.  I love being part of their ever growing BIG family!  We are blessed to be able to spend the holidays with so many people who love us!  Chase was on day 3 of no nap so I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked to.  He looked so stinking cute in his reindeer sweater! 

Christmas Eve 2010

Chase Christopher 21 months old

We got home pretty late on Christmas Eve so thankfully Chase let daddy and I sleep in.  I have a feeling next year he will be a bit more eager to wake up earlier to see what Santa left under the tree.  We explained Santa came and left him presents but I am not sure how much he truly understood.  He slowly walked towards his loot and said "car!"  and got pretty excited as he explored all his new toys.  I don't know that he a favorite gift, he has taken time to play with them all.  The child will be busy with new toys for months....Chris already said for his birthday in three months we're putting money in his college fund! 

Christmas morning!
