Blake's First Christmas- 2011

 Blake was blessed with spending time with family over the holidays.  We first started out with Christmas at GnG Bartolomei's.  He's 5 months, and figured out something fun was going on.  He didn't even mind his Santa outfit.  Hope you enjoy some pics of Blake's first Christmas...

This was his first Christmas gift.  Of course the wrapping was as exciting as anything.

We then traveled to Arizona to meet up with the entire Willems family.  He had a blast seeing all of his cousins at GnG Willems' house.  Of course mom put on a spectacular display of food and treats.  We were all surrounded by love and happiness.  Cousins Molly and Kayla were so good with Blake, and made him laugh and smile at every opportunity.

 All the cousins- Kayla, Johhny, Selma, Molly and Blake.

 And we even had a special visit from Santa himself.  But that winter outfit was a bit much for the nice weather in Prescott.

So, after enjoying Mama's special dinner, we all were slowing down.  It was about 8:30pm and people were starting to close an eye or two.  When all of a sudden Dad through down the gauntlet.  It took a while, but he fired everyone up and organized a ping pong tournament.  And of course he stepped right up to even out the bracket.  We all had a blast laughing and cheering and owe it all to Dad.  That night would have past us by, but not with JKW around.  What fun.
