What a great Christmas we had! This was the first year Kamran could communicate his understanding of Christmas with actual words. Leading up to Christmas, little dude wanted zero to do with the Santa man. We waited for a while before we decided to go for a visit to see him. When we did visit Santa, it was a family photo. Honestly, I’m glad he won’t just go sit on any lap…even if he gives away toys and dresses up like a character.

We have one standing holiday tradition on my side of the family. That is Christmas Eve with my dad’s side of the family. They are all local to one another (a small hike for us) and that makes it super convenient to see everyone for a nice meal and exchange gifts. Kamran’s favorite gift that night was from my Aunt. The boy was captivated with a Thomas book that has teeny trains and a play mat at the back. He didn’t move and had no interest in the gifts everyone had for him. There are 2 other littles his age right now as well which makes it all super fun.

Kamran is very interested in helping me take photos. It was interesting to learn that the folks who hide from me will smile nicely when Kam is “helping.” Noted. (The snowman he took approximately 20 photos of all by himself.)

Christmas Day, I cooked breakfast/brunch and family came to visit us. Let’s just say that little man is the only grandchild on both sides for now. Someone received lots of big gifts. He is LOVING all of them. Most importantly, he received several learning toys which are great so that I can work with him now that we are home together. My brother wins a big gold star. He drove an hour to be here at 6am and watch Kamran wake up to see that Santa had come to visit.
