After a nice long nap, it was time to head over to Grandma and Grandpa R's for more festivities.
Bennett is fascinated with Brandy--Grandma and Grandpa's dog. He loves to talk to her and gigles when she comes to see him!
Godparents Craig and Becky gave Bennett a Santa snowglobe and a Leap Frog who sings the alphabet. This was the first time cousin Bobby even got close to Bennett, much less hold him! As you can see, it may be that last :-)
Both Bennett and Daddy got to choose a music box from Great-Grandma R's music box collection. Great-Grandpa is slowly passing on her belongings to the family. Each family member got to pick one--Daddy picked Robin Hood and Bennett picked Fantasia. Afterwards, both great-grandpas posed for a picture.
Finally, it was time for more gifts! Mom and Dad got many gift cards and money to put towards the purchase of our new computer. We also got some movies, a game, and a digital photo frame with 240 pictures of our beautiful boy! Bennett got a new outfit, books, and toys. We are so fortunate for all the wonderful gifts our families gave us--especially the time we got to spend together. And our best gift of all is our little boy, who seemed to enjoy his first Christmas!
At the end of the evening, we took the long drive home (it was snowing and sleeting--not fun!) and put Bennett to bed. Ryan and I sat down, each with a slush, popped in Home Alone, and played our new Christmas Story edition of Monopoly. It was a wonderful holiday!
