Ben's 2nd Christmas

Ben had a great 2nd Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve with Steve's family and as always, Ben loved playing with all his cousins. Like most 1 year olds, he preferred playing with the wrapping paper and boxes to the actual presents. He stayed up way past his bedtime (10:30!!) and slept well in his Pack and Play, which I had been a bit worried about because it was basically our first night away from home. We headed back home on Christmas day and celebrated again with my mom and dad. More presents, more boxes, more wrapping paper, more food, more egg nog. It was a great Christmas! I wasn't as diligent as some years about taking pictures, mainly because there was a lot going on for me to keep up with, and because I was still recovering a bit from a stomach bug the day before. But here are a few pictures of the festivities.
