Where's Alex?????

Yep, my parents and brother and SIL went overboard for Alex. This isn't even all the gifts! They really wanted his first Christmas to be special, but he's only 6 months old!! He won't even remember it!!!

I have the best family!!!!!

You really do have a fantastic family, wanting to spoil your little guy so much for Christmas!! What fun!!!!

WOW!!! It was a little embarrasing for us on Christmas too--Grandma and Grandpa went a little bit crazy!! We had this HUGE pile for Sam and Sarah and everyone else had just a couple of presents! LOL Kinda fun opening them all, Huh? You relived your childhood a little this year! Next year he will be ripping into them himself! He is a little cutie guy!
