Max is Having a Heart Time: Max's First Christmas

What a special first Christmas with Max! We were able to spend time with everyone from Tyler's immediate family and mine over the last few weeks and we had a blast! On Christmas Eve morning, we drove to Hendersonville to see Uncle Eric's new house. It's a really great house and he and Mom have done a great job decorating and furnishing it. That evening, we went to Christmas Eve Mass and then came home and had appetizers and wine. I read Max a Christmas story and then put him to bed for the night. What a nice evening! We all slept in Christmas morning and then shared a delicious turkey and dressing meal. Mom is such a great cook! After we all had full bellies, we opened stockings and Max's gifts. He got some really cool toys including a singing and dancing Elmo that plays instruments. He also got a book, stacking rings, an activity table for when he's older, and some stuffed animals that play music. He loves music! Uncle Eric got him the cutest UT gear; I can't wait for him to wear it! Later that afternoon, the boys left for their annual trip to Arkansas to go duck hunting for three days. I stayed at Mom's house with Max and we had a blast over the next three days! I couldn't have asked for a better first Christmas with sweet Max and I hear it only gets more fun from here on out!
