And, it was a busy one, with Santa presents in the morning, a visit with Poppie after lunch and then an afternoon and evening filled with family and little friends.

Christmas in CT – Part 1
Christmastime had arrived, and with it, family celebrations. Colin was much more aware of what was happening this year, and was very into the concept of playing with his cousins, opening presents and eating treats. Here are a few highlights…

Winding Down from the Holidays
There was plenty of celebrating over the days leading up to, and including, Christmas. So, C took it pretty easy during the rest of his time in CT. But, there was still a lot to keep him entertained!
Christmas Day is Here!
Gifts and kids were a theme of the day for Christmas! Between Santa and Nonna (and Papa), C was in gift overload! Luckily, there were lots of kids around to play with everything!
