Jacob's First Christmas

We finally got to leave the hospital on Monday, Christmas Eve. It was a very special time for us to bring Jacob home and show him around the house, and show him his room for the first time. It was very strange for us to come home and find the house exactly as we had left it in the middle of the night when we left for the hospital for him to be born. One day it was just the two of us, and then as if everything stood still, we came home as parents. Very bizarre.

That night my parents came over and we opened gifts from them and the rest of my family that couldn't make it over. It was a special time to spend with them. But I think it was mostly because they held Jacob all night and gave us a break!

This morning has been a lot of fun for us. Jacob slept really well all night, so we were able to get lots of rest for ourselves! We came downstairs and cooked some breakfast and opened our presents from each other (which neither of us had a chance to wrap!) and also what we got for Jacob. You can probably guess which gift I got for him by looking at the pictures! Today should be a nice relaxing day for us. We are going to build a fire and watch a movie at home, and then tonight most of Courtney's family is going to come over and visit. And that means more presents! It's like Christmas is going to last all week. Although, I think Jacob is going to get a lot more stuff than Courtney or I will. :)
