Dustin's First Christmas

Okay.. now that I'm done sharing Logan & Connor's First Christmas... let's get back to the current Christmas! Before I start, here's a photo of the 3 of them wearing the same Christmas sleep n' play.

We were so blessed to have conceived Dustin on our own (without medical help) last Christmas. Dustin wasn't due until September 16, 2014 but he decided it was time 6 weeks early and completed our family on August 5th. I needed a C-Section and there was a lot going on during this 3rd labor but I won't get into details...

Fast forward 4 months later and we are celebrating Dustin's first Christmas as a healthy (and I mean healthy... 16 pounds of healthy) 4 month old. I'm just in awe of my 3 baby boys. I love them so much!

This Christmas holiday was a lot more busy.

Hubby works until late and doesn't get home until 9pm (ish).

Connor is now sooo busy.

Ornaments broke.

Tree tipped over.

Tree was complete the week before Christmas (usually up first thing after Halloween!)

Tree went down the day after Christmas (usually goes down after New Year's)

But overall, there were good times and wonderful memories (including the memories where I'm chasing Connor while nursing Dustin to get an ornament from him!)

I wouldn't change a thing. Nothing is perfect. We're far from it. But it's my perfectly imperfect family.

Christmas morning at home.

I set up the camera on a tripod and set it to take a photo every 25 seconds. I wanted to be a part of this special day (and not behind the camera)

Connor's First Christmas (2013)

I just got done sharing Logan's first Christmas so now I'm moving down the list ^_^

It's hard to believe it was just last year that Connor had his first Christmas since we had another first Christmas this year! This is because Connor was born in January last year so he was already 11 months when Christmas came around.

We were so excited to have another baby in our family! Little did we know... number #3 was already in the making!
