FIRST CHRISTMAS

This is Noah after two full weeks of decking the halls. Imagine how tired you are after the Holidays, now times that by the fact that this was Noah's first, he is only two feet or so, the Turkey many of you cooked weighed more than he, and the boy did not stop opening presents for his spoiled self from the 23rd until he rang in the New Year - passed out, curled in a ball as Laura and I whispered, "Happy New Year."








Here are a few examples of how new parents torture there beautiful babies during the Holidays. Here we have Noah dressed as an elf with antlers (a first!)







A beautiful baby mugging it up for the camera.









A tired of flashes in his face escaping elf says, "No more, please!"






A half naked reindeer looks exhausted and confused by the lack of garments and the addition of head gear.







And the kicker! A diaper only elf. He looks like Will Ferrel in ELF. Too big for the hat. He's only missing Ferrel's trademark flop sweat and hairy belly. Ah, some day, young Noah.



Noah wants to thank everybody for everything. (There! Now no one can say I didn't mention them specifically)

Here are a few of Noah's favorite 1st Christmas moments with some of his favorite people (but remember, he loves all of you equally, including his Momma (who he calls Na Na) and Dadda (who he sometimes calls Doggie).






Noah meets Santa Claus for the first time. It did not go well.






Noah and his home boy Aedan share a moment.





Noah shows Dad his climbing skills as he ascends the staircase at Great Uncle Damon and newly crowned Great Aunt Jeanine's new home.







Noah and Dad sleep in on Christmas morning.






Although Noah just didn't understand why we wrapped his toys in colorful paper, he loved it once we tore it away to reveal toy after toy. (Note his baby in the background, he loves that baby and showes it by poking it in the eyes and dangling it by its toes)





The Hyatt family and Santa. Grandma Noonie, Grandpa, Uncle Steven and Auntie Kayla showered Noah with gifts and kisses -







Christmas finally ended. Noah rejoiced! Mom and Dad rested.



Merry Christmas family and friends. We love you all much. See you for 1st birthday in February.
