christmas day

Christmas day started at 6:00AM when Callen woke up (this is the time he wakes up every morning) and we headed straight for the Perdue's to see if Santa came...and he did!! 
Callen knows the flash on my camera is about to come and closes his eyes before I can even take a picture. He's been conditioned, poor kid. 
After opening presents we talked with Elder Grant Perdue, who just hit his year mark, serving in Canada. The last time Grant saw Callen was mothers day when Callen was only five days old. It would be an understatement to only say he's done some growing since then. 
Everyone talking to Grant. 
Callen got kisses from Grandma Perdue under the mistletoe. 
After Callen's morning nap we came home to open presents with the Tuckers and have a big christmas breakfast with our traditional Danish aebleskivers. Delish! 
After breakfast we opened stockings. Great Grandma Jensen made a stocking for Callen to match the rest of the families. I love it!
Callen was more spoiled than any of us. He was pretty good at opening his presents. He could tear the paper right off the box. 
His big present from mom and dad was an awesome new carseat. He is already grown out of his infant carrier and loves being a big boy. 
We had a lazy afternoon playing with our new toys, naping, and talking a walk on the beach. 
 It was the perfect first Christmas as a family.
