Holiday Season 2012

The holidays were definitely a little more hectic having a newborn but also lots of fun.  After having family in town to visit and help with the boys we prepared for Christmas.  I tried to have most of my holiday shopping done before Lincoln was born but it seemed I still had a lot of last minute things to accomplish.  Eric's last few weeks at Johns Hopkins were tough but he completed the 6 month rotation on December 28th and then had off thru New Year's Day.  We are all happy it is over!  Here are some of my favorite pics from the holiday season.....

Eric took Hayden to a few different train gardens in the area on his days off.  Hayden still loves trains!  Here is a pic of Hayden at the B&O train museum in Baltimore.

The Saturday before Christmas Eric was working so the boys and I traveled down to my parents to exchange gifts with my family.  Here is Hayden in his new Batman dress up set opening gifts.  :)

Excited to see snow on Christmas Eve!

Eric was on call Christmas Eve so mommy was busy helping Santa get ready for Christmas morning.  :)

Hayden likes to take his time opening gifts.  He just wants to open and play so we let him go at his own pace.

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day we spent at home relaxing just the four of us.  We really enjoyed the holidays and were happy to spend it with so many friends and family!  Happy New Year from the Vaillant's!
