William & John

We found some old photos of John on his first Christmas in 1982.  We got pictures of William in the same Christmas outfit.

Here is William in the same outfit on his first Christmas:

And then this shirt was a hand-me-down from a friend, but it is so true!!  What a lucky boy William is.  We had to get a picture with his Gran:

Christmas Day in Little Rock

Santa Claus came to Gran's house and left all kinds of goodies!  Our stockings were full and we all got lots of presents around the tree.

Little Will got a nice bath to be clean for Christmas Day.

Then he got dressed in his Christmas Santa suit.  Look how surprised he is to see all his presents!

We opened our stockings that Santa had filled for us.  Will got some Christmas beany babies.  The adults got lots of candy.  Good thing we don't have to share with Will yet!!  :)

Will got a cute new outfit from Grandma & Grandpa Edwards.  We took lots of pictures in his new outfit because he is such a cutie in it!!

  Next, we headed over to the Cathey's to open some Christmas presents with the Riley family. 

William got all kinds of neat stuff for his first Christmas.  His cousins were so excited to give him presents.  Thank you to everyone for thinking of Will on his first Christmas!!  :)  Here are a few of the gifts he got:

Christmas at the Cathey's is like nothing I've ever seen before.  There are so many presents and it is so chaotic.  It is a lot of fun.  Here is a clip to show how crazy it can get Christmas morning opening all the presents:

Check out Gran's silly hat that dances and sings.  Will loved it.

Will got to hang out with all of his family. He was passed around and spent time with everyone. He even took a few naps along the way. 

We got the chance for a Four Generation picture too:

Then we headed back to Gran's house to finish our own presents.....



Yes - this is a Chewbacca doll that makes Chewbacca's cry

William got so many fun presents:

After all the presents were opened we got to hang out and enjoy the Christmas music. 
We finally caught William giggling on camera!!!

Later Gran read Will "Twas the Night Before Christmas". Gran will record her voice in the book so Will can listen to the story at home too.

It was quite an exhausting day.  Will had a wonderful first Christmas!!  Thank you to everyone for helping make it so special :)
