finn's first christmas eve

it all started with a trip to the mailbox to find a letter from santa!!


and then...a little look under the tree to see that santa had left this little gem!

all dressed in our christmas best....

and off to mimi and pops for holiday fun. mimi never disapoints with silly hats and accessories...this year it was light-up rudolph noses!

finn visited with great grandma, and uncle richard, found his his look-a-like (a.k.a. daddy as a baby) on an ornament and admired his stocking-made by mimi.

he was introduced to mrs. claus...

and then he was pretty tired, so he relaxed.

santa came! and we were all completely spoiled.

and then we feasted...on prime rib and potatoes and green beans - it was all amaaaazing.

we left mimi and pops' feeling very merry and very bright. and we decided that on the way home we should drive through the fab 40's to see the light display...finn may have been sleeping but the mister and i were giddy for him. his first christmas eve. it doesn't get much better than that.

merry and bright.
