Christmas 2006

Our first Christmas with Baby "D" was full of activity, here are a few highlights!

On December 22nd we went to Grandpa and Grandma Peters house to open presents, Dawson got right into it!

This is a shot of Dawson and his crazy cousins Ryan and Ella! Christmas is so fun with little ones, we can't wait until next year when Dawson and Ella will be running around!



On December 23rd we went to Great Grandpa and Grandma Rachars where Dawson received tons of attention from the extended family! Here is Great Grandma getting some snuggles in!




We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Grandpa and Grandma Andrus' house! Once again he was spoiled with attention and gifts! Dawson is actually sporting an outfit that Grandma Dorothy gave Dave about 25 years ago!

All Smiles

Dawson was in such a good mood this morning when he woke up!

Babies First Christmas

This Christmas is special because it is the first one we get to share with Dawson! Already he has had some fun experiences:

Decorating the Christmas tree was a bit to much stimulation for his little eyes,he could only look at it for so long before dad had to turn him in a different direction!

He was very patient as mom worked to get the perfect shot for the Christmas card!

The Perfect Shot!

This past Sunday Dawson had the privilege of playing the role of Baby Jesus in a live nativity for the Sunday School kids at our church. Dave and I played the roles of Mary and Joseph! Dawson did very well considering he had a lot of onlookers and it was right about dinner time when he had to perform! I'm not sure Baby Jesus had a Suzy Zoo Soother, but oh well!
