Merry Christmas! It was Charlotte's first!

Charlotte had a wonderful first Christmas! She was in great spirits all day. Even though she doesn't get the whole experience yet, she truly had a blast today! It really was special for Melissa and I to be able to celebrate our baby's first Christmas.

Due to the bad weather up in West Virginia last week, we spent the holiday in Newnan. This was my first Christmas away from my Father, my Sister and her family in many years. However, it was my first Christmas with the Borrelli's! My mother was even able to come down from North Carolina to be with all of us!

Here is a photo of the whole clan after eating Christmas diner together.

Before going to eat with the whole family, Charlotte was able to open her gifts under her first Christmas tree!

Yep ... that's a toy DRUM!! Charlie picked up the concept pretty quickly! Thanks to Grandma and Grand Daddy Borrelli for the cool percussion instruments! Both Daddy and Charlie will have much fun playing with these together!

... then it was off to the Borrelli's for a great gift from Aunt Dawn, Uncle Dickie and Cousin Lauren!

It's a cow print Wheelie Bug!!

We tried to illustrate how to ride it by using the Teletubbies as crash test dummies ...

Merry Christmas everyone!
