Baby's First Christmas

Happy Holidays everyone! We had a wonderful little Christmas vacation. We got to see lots of grandmas and grandpas, cousins, and aunts and uncles. We stayed at so many different places by Christmas day, after laying down for twenty minutes, I woke up and had no idea where I was.

Park City was beautiful and picturesque. It snowed almost the whole time we were there, so we stayed cooped up in our Deer Valley condo. No complaints here.










Do you think he looks like Papa?


From Park City we stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Forsyth's and attended the White Family Christmas Party. We got to see a lot of family we haven't seen for a while, including some other little babies.

After Grandma's we stayed home for two nights to prepare for the Christmas festivities at Ed and JoAnn's. We went up to Draper on Christmas Eve where we enjoyed a wonderful steak dinner and opened the first presents of Christmas (i.e. jammies).

 I don't think this picture really looks like him, but this gives you an idea of what he does every time I try to sneakily take a picture of him--he charges towards me and gets whatever part of the camera he can in his mouth. In this picture it's the lens cap.


 I look dumb, but it's funny because it looks like Quinn is punching the camera.


 Kira's two kids, Reese and Riley, played a beautiful Mary and Joseph while we read the Christmas story out of the scriptures. Riley lasted for about a minute before he ripped off his costume and started kicking the baby Jesus. It made things a little more entertaining.


 Quinn got to test out his social skills with 11 month old Max (Ashley's baby). They tried to poke and prod each other for a greeting while the moms tried to tell them to be soft and gentle, but what about baby boys is soft and gentle? Also, Quinn was more interested in the bow than trying to open the present, which is surprising because he loves crinkly things and ripping things. That should be the perfect combination for opening presents, but the shiny bow trumped them both. Max (2 months his senior) eventually opened his jammies for him.

 Dad and baby in their jammies.



 We could not keep him away from the tree, and after he got a hold of his first bow, he wanted them all.


Christmas morning (don't be fooled, he still didn't open his own presents).









We had a great Christmas and hope that everyone else did too! Now we are ready to get back into our regular routine and look forward to a new year.
