Christmas Day

Christmas morning, we woke up at my parents' house to see what Santa had left. Dallas got a huge stuffed lamb to crawl on, some bath toys, sippy cups and travel bowls. In Doug's stocking, there was some travel items, a day-to-day desk calendar, and a Purdue toss pillow. In my stocking, there was make-up items, a wall calendar, and an Indiana State toss pillow!

After checking out the stockings, we headed to church with Doug's parents and sister. Dallas did great until it was time for communion...which is when he typically gets antsy. When we got back to Bob and Connie's house, the little guy was in a great mood again, so we decided to dive into the presents...

This is the only picture I got of the tree before we started on the gifts.

Dallas opening his first present from Grandpa and Gram Bergman

Check it out, Dad! A ride on tractor.

How do we put this thing together?

Gram entertained Dallas while, Doug, Bob and I tried to put the toy together.

Beep, beep! Coming through...

Josie opening the Kenny Chesney t-shirts we got her.

The puppy-dog bath towel Aunt Josie got Dallas.

The truck and tractor Santa brought Dallas.

Dallas was over the gift opening by this point...he didn't really care about the books Aunt Josie got him. (He really likes them now, by the way)

The Oliver tractor Grandpa and Gram got Dallas.

A milestone that Dallas reached while in Indiana: CLAPPING! We were sitting with my parents at the dinner table on the 23rd, when my mom was clapping "pat-a-cake" and all of a sudden, Dallas started clapping! Here he is showing off with Gram Bergman.

The day after Christmas, I went to Columbus to see if I could find any great deals. Gram and Grandpa stayed home with Dallas...the next two pictures are just a few from their time together.

Dallas is really getting the hang of pulling himself up into a standing position. (The first time he truly did it all by himself was Christmas Eve)

Checking out Gram's Nativity Scene.

Until next time...
