My First Christmas



Andrew was very excited for his first Christmas, he told me so. We set up the Christmas tree and decorated the house, made and frosted Christmas cookies, shopped, and wrapped presents. Andrew did seem to like the lights on the tree, but missed out on much of the rest of the excitment.


We enjoyed the tradidional "Shipman" Christmas Eve fare of fondue and peppermint ice cream with good friends Alon, Elyse and Nathan Finkelstein. I guess you could call it Andrew's first sleepover as Nathan slept in out Pack and Play and Alon and Elyse watched Andrew while we went to Christmas Eve church. On Christmas morning Luke said, "Should we wake up Andrew?" But we figured he wouldn't quite get it all and that we should enjoy his sleeping time. He can try again in a few days when Luke's parents are here and we open the rest of our gifts. We enjoyed visiting friends Brit, Jaye, Hunter and Schulyer and had dinner with Keith, Tara, Morgan and Madison. It was a Merry Chrsitmas.
