Highlights From Breckin's First Christmas

One of the most special parts of Breckin's first Christmas was that he got to meet his Uncle Jordan for the first time. Jordan flew into Medford from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs the week before Christmas. The last time we saw Jordan was June 17th when he left for the Academy, little did we know I would be going into labor just hours later. Breckin was a little unsure of Uncle Jordan at first, however by the time he left they were best of friends.

Christmas with such a large family can be a little overwhelming but Breckin was a champ through all four of his first Christmases. We started the Sunday before Christmas with Rob's Mom and discovered that Breckin loved wrapping paper, especially the foil variety. He also loved the fun toys that Oma and Opa got him, favorites being his Skwish and a Playmobil gardening shed and truck.



Christmas Eve was spent at Rob's Dad's house where Breckin made out well with lots more toys, clothes and an adorable hat knit by Grandma Holly. Breckin enjoyed having other little ones to share present opening with, Holly's sister was there with her 8 month old twins and McKenna showed them all how Christmas is done.


Christmas morning we woke up at home, Breckin opened a few presents from us and then it was off to my Mom's house to spend the day with Great Grandma and Grandpa Luderman and Uncle Jordan and Brandon. Breckin's favorite gift from Grammy was his Radio Flyer push wagon, for now he likes to sit in it and play with toys but once he starts walking I know he will love pushing it around.


And for our last Christmas at my Dad's. We headed to Papa's house for New Year's Eve and enjoyed participating in a gift exchange with all of the family there. Papa and Big Mom got Breckin the cutest sleeping bag that he already loves snuggling into.


While this holiday season was a whirlwind of activity we enjoyed spending time with all of our family. We will now use the rest of the year to recuperate and be ready for the festivities to begin again next year.
