December 2013- Chase's First Christmas

We had a wonderful relaxing Christmas morning with Chase.   We were showered with love from our family who all went out of there way to send presents and make us feel as close to home as possible.  We are truly blessed with such wonderful families.  Chase had his Christmas PJ's on, but they didn't last through presents.  There was no snow for Christmas 2013, in fact, there was hardly any snow the whole winter.  Germany had a total of 1.75 inches of snow accumulation for the entire season.  Most days the snow was melted by noon.  Geoff and I had an amazing prime rib dinner, with corn casserole, ambrosia salad,_______.  Chase stayed up with us through our dinner.  This was one of the first times Chase ate with us at the table as a family, something we have been looking forward to since he was born.  Chase also provided the entertainment for the evening.  He was very jolly (as usual for him) and laughing up a storm.  I captured some of it on video, Click the underlined link to watch the video. Chase Laughing at his name, 4 months old.  It is mind blowing to think that last year at this time Chase was only the size of a lime.  Everyone was in bed early, Chase at 4 months old is still feeding at night 2-3 times.
