Scenes From the Kiddo's First Christmas

Happy New Year!

I'm back to the blog after a wonderful holiday break and I just thought I would share a few highlights.

I snapped that picture, above, as soon as the Kiddo awoke on Christmas morning...obviously he indulged me with a sleepyheaded smile, but I was definitely the one who was most excited about hurrying into the living room to open presents:
Here's the Kiddo having fun with his new Djembe drum: This was on the subway platform on our way home from Rockefeller Center on Christmas Eve, where we checked out the tree, watched the ice skating, and tried not to get trampled by the hoards of people!The Kiddo's marvelous grandmas bonding on Christmas morning:The Kiddo's marvelous grandpa treating everyone to his trademark read-aloud version of The Bear's Toothache:
A snuggly, post-Christmas dinner nap:My brother and father chillin' on the sofa:My sister, documenting -- and getting cracked up by -- the always wacko family sing-along of The Twelve Days of Christmas:A couple of shots of the Kiddo in all his holiday cuteness:The whole gang!
