Melanie's before the eve 2012

It begins again. The Christmas that was. As always we met a Grandma's for some of the festivities and took pictures. You know the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." So we didn't! This was the night before the night before Christmas, or as Emma says, Christmas Adam." Get it? Whatevs. These are Melanie's. My Christmas Adam will come next and will essentially be the same photos from a different angle. Whatevs again. Lets go see who was there. 

William's first Christmas!

Having a meet cute with Otis. 

Just hanging around being cute.

That finger must taste delish.

He's not so sure why Billie's lying down. That's LYING down.

But he's warming up to it.

Having a little refreshment.

Aww shucks I know I'm adorable,

Getting comfy. 

People in the prime seating area.

"Well that's not what she said you said."

William has his Santa jammies on.

There are just so many ways to say he's cute.

Family photo. William ain't feeling it.

Then a Christmas surprise was brought in the door.

That just happened.... 

To be....

For me! And Austin's excited too!

Hand made by Dale for me for Christmas. I love it.

Then back to the family photo shoot. Parents get it together! The kid's ready!

Nope. The moment's passed.

Then Lins and William wanted to try mine out.

Until they saw Dale made one for William too!

And he loved it.

Then he was ready for a bottle and a crash.

Love.

So sweet

Too hard to choose just one.

So I didn't. 

Love it.

He's about to tell people to take him home to his bed.

In his own special language.

It's now 2:51 and I've been working on this post forever because I messed it up and almost had to start from scratch. 

 Ugh. 

Onward and upward! 

 Or just to bed. 

 That's the ticket.
