Christmas Morning

With all of the blog posts I've done on Christmas this year, I had to have a little one just for Christmas morning. We have a little tradition that Jarrett and I started our first Christmas together, and that is that we like for it to be just us on Christmas morning. It's such a hectic time of year, with all kinds of family and friend get-togethers. We like to keep this morning special and simple. So it was just the 3 of us that morning. It was quiet and easy and such a sweet time. 

Aaron loved Jarrett's stocking gift--the beloved slinky :) Of course, it has now become Aaron's toy!

As you can see, we had kind of a domestic theme of gifts for Aaron this year. It was unintentional, but it's just what we thought he would like. He loves to help us with our chores..like vacuuming, cooking, etc...so we thought he should have his own things to play with.

Yay for small pots and pans! So cute and Aaron loves to "stir" things up!

I didn't know about the apron until we opened the whole little cleaning set...Jarrett wasn't too sure about it, but I thought it would be cute to get at least get a couple of pictures :) This is the only time Aaron has worn the apron--but he is still playing with his cleaning tools nearly 6 months later! 

I hope his love of cleaning and helping his Mommy around the house continues for the next 17 years, but I have a feeling it might fade :)
We had an amazing Christmas with our friends and family this year. It was so fun to see Aaron really start to learn and get into the whole thing. We can't wait to see what next Christmas will be like with our little man--oh what joy!
