Wyatt's First Christmas

2009 was our first Christmas with Wyatt. It was a lot of fun. I am so excited for him to believe in Santa and to understand the real meaning of Christmas.

Christmas began with a Vansyoc family dinner at Maggiano's. It was so delicious. I LOVE stuffed mushrooms. The company was really good too. We went with Bob and Lee, Shawn and Nicki, and Dennis and Ada. Jason and I had a really good time.

We spent Christmas Eve with my Mom. My brother, Joe, and his wife, Rianne, had come in from Utah. My brother, John, and his girlfriend, Cassandra, came in from Idaho and my sister, Emma, flew in from Hawaii. We had a nice dinner and then we opened presents. We got Wyatt a set of cardboard books based on the movie Cars and a glow worm (he really loves his glow worm. He likes to suck on its ears and hands). From Grandma and Grandpa he got a saucer. Jason and I had a hard time getting it together, but as soon as Wyatt got into the seat he loved it. The saucer has a bunch of little toys all around the seat so that Wyatt can be entertained no matter which way he is facing. He loves the little bird and the flower. My favorite is a little mirror that has three buttons in front of it. When Wyatt hits the buttons it plays music. The first time he sat in the chair he began hitting the buttons and playing the music. (He LOVES music. When I was pregnant,he would move when I was listening to music.)

Wyatt's other favorite toy on the saucer is the Pandas on the SeeSaw

On Christmas Day we woke up at 6:45am and went to my Dad's. My little sister, Rachel, is 4 years old and very into Santa. It is so much fun to watch little children at Christmas. Wyatt got a ton of cute clothes from Omi and Opa.
They also gave Wyatt some money to start a college fund. After we opened presents, everyone gathered around the table to eat yummy cinnamon rolls and bacon. Then everyone began to play with their presents and take naps (opening presents at 7am is a little early).

This suit is a little big, but the way Wyatt is growing it will fit very soon.

After breakfast we went to visit Jason's parents. On our way, we picked up Grandma Shirley (Jason's Grandma). It was fun because Halmoni and Harabeogi got a lot of time to play with Wyatt. I fell asleep on the couch and Jason passed out on the floor. A little later in the afternoon Uncle Shawn and Aunt Nicki came over. Wyatt got a lot of cute clothes from his grandparents and from his aunt and uncle.

Halmoni and Harabeogi also bought Wyatt and his cousin Mollie a swing for Christmas. Wyatt loves to be in the swing. Yesterday we were at Bob and Lee's and he slept in the swing for almost two hours.

For dinner we headed back to my Dad's house for a nice turkey and ham dinner. We had green beans and mashed potatoes. My favorite was the Cranberry Salad that my Omi used to make. I think I have had it at almost every Christmas. Yummy.

It was a great Christmas. What more could I ask for. I have a great husband and beautiful son and tons of family. I am sooo blessed.
