Baby's First Christmas

One thing that is great about Christmas is that families come together from all over the place. I have siblings that live in four different states and yet at Christmas we converge on my parents house in Ohio and celebrate. This year was particularly fun, because there were six grandkids to keep things interesting. It was also our first Christmas with little Lincoln. Having all the little kids around reminded me of how much fun Christmas morning. It also reminded me of how important family is. We might move into a different house or community, and our friends will likely change over time, but family will always be around, for better or worse. It makes making memories even more fun, because you know that ten years from now your family will remember those good times. However, very few of my friends were my friends ten years ago. Things change. I've moved around. In addition to having all the kids around, we had an epic gingerbread house competition. Some of the results were more interesting than epic, but boy did we have fun. There are a few images included in my December video included below.
