While we are at least a year away from him understand what is going on, believing in Santa, etc. it was so sweet to see Max run around, open packages, and be in awe of all the decorations.
Here's a little video of Max coming down the stairs on Christmas morning! I'm sure it will be much more exciting to watch in years to come. ;-)
Best of all, he had nearly two weeks jam packed with visiting family and friends. It doesn't get better than that!
Christmas celebration with friends at our house:
Christmas celebration with the Teal's / Heinlein's at Alexian Village (where Grammie lives):
Max was enamored with this toddler-sized nativity scene. He even went over to Joseph and said, "Hello!" and waved! Max kept petting the sheep (as seen in the first picture), and tried to pick it up and walk away at one point. Silly boy!
Nothing says, "Merry Christmas!" like riding the animals at Baby Jesus' birth.
We met a new friend in the hallway! Max picked up the stuffed black dog by Charlie Brown and gave him a big hug.
Four generations (and too many cameras to look at!)
Our final stop on the Christmas circuit was celebrating with the Lilly's!

Fun things to note: Valerie photo bombing the picture and Max walking Granddaddy on a leash.
