Derek and I have had a tradition of our own since our first holiday together...A seafood spread! This was Cole's first year to get in on the action. He liked the crab, but preferred to fill up on peanut butter crackers! Derek and I know that this tradition will be very pricey in a few years when he gets that boy appetite!
After we filled our bellies and changed into pajama pants, we went to look at Christmas lights.

There is a wonderful street near our home that goes big!

"Look Mama, Look Dada! Lights, lights, lights!"

After the lights, we came home to watch a video sent to Cole from Santa. He loved that Santa said his name kept saying "Santa said 'Hi Cole!'" I love the Christmas magic!

Cole got a few early presents from relatives and friends. He loved the treat and the new toys!
