I guess this wasn't really Will's first Christmas (technically that was last year, when he was about a month old). But this one definitely felt like our "real" first, since he was able to participate and move around and play with his gifts. We spent the holiday at the Thompsons in Penn Yan, with Aunt Cass, Uncle Matt, and cousins Riley (2 1/2) and Abby (4 months). It was quite a new experience with a house full of kids! Needless to say, we were all a little exhausted when we got back home on the 26th.
Of course, Will's favorite presents weren't his -- Riley's new chair, her Lincoln Logs, and the Dora the Explorer hand puppet ... BUT, he'd already been really enjoying his play table from Grandma and Grandpa Scheuer (an early gift at Thanksgiving), and now he's into playing with his Little People garage and cars. We have a few too many toys lying around now, and I think we can safely put away all Will's true baby toys for good.
On a side note, Will has finally mastered the stairs! Well, going up the stairs. So far he's not so interested in going down, but he can spend forever going up. It's his favorite thing. We are so screwed ... But the gates are up (top and bottom), and now we just need to teach him how to come down safely.
More holiday pictures coming soon, and hope 2008 is a good one!
