A Christmas to Remember

The Christmas Season was wonderful this year. It was so nice to experience Austin's 1st Christmas with him. We started the Celebration last week with the Geister Party as posted before. We went to Grandma Rockett's house on Sunday evening for Dinner and to visit. Steve and his new wife Sharon were there, as well as Aunt Ashley, Tracy, Lindsey, and Jake. Austin's Great Uncle Steve doesn't like to hold babies much, but he actually held Austin, and I got a picture! That is so me progress for Steve :) It was a nice time. Austin got a Tonka Truck and some clothes.

On Christmas Eve, we had the annual Rockett Party. Jason's Aunt Marilyn had it this year, and she decided to have it in a hotel suite. It was very nice - and big. I have never seen a Plasma TV in a bathroom until then!! Aunt Mariln hosted also there was Gramps, GG, Jodi, Paul, Lisa, Ashley and Tom. It is nice to see everyone once a year. Austin adored his Great Uncle Paul. The funny thing is he looks just like Jason. Austin got his very first Hockey Stick from Gramps and loves to chew on it. He got a lot of other great toys from everyone. We can barely fit everything in our tiny home. We do have to take a few things back because of doubles. We are thinking of getting another carseat with the store credit for Jason's car. While we were at the party, Austin was loving all the attention he was getting. He was very happy, but I noticed he had a runny nose. I didn't think much of it until we got in the car and he was very upset. He wasn't feeling well, and he has a cold again! He was up until 1am on Christmas Eve. It was horrible, even when he did sleep, he was waking up a lot and sick. I didn't get a good sleep.

Christmas morning wasn't too interesting. I slept in and Austin played with all of his new toys while Dad watched him. He was feeling lousy so we put him down for a nap and took the tree down to make room for all of the new toys. Jason put up his Play Yard and put together all the big toys. Once he woke up we headed to my mom's house in Toledo. Austin enjoyed it, but we didn't want to stay too long because he was still feeling lousy. He opened his gifts and played. My mom got me Rachel Ray pots and pans!! So happy about that!! Austin played for a while with Mark and Nana then we packed up and headed home!!

Jason and I didn't exchange gifts this year. We are so Blessed to have Austin, and he his the best gift we could every want. I am very happy to have my wonderful Husband, Daughter and Son.
