25 Days of Christmas...or 27 Photos of a Holiday Season

Alex's first holidays were quite festive! We hosted visitors here, and traveled to Baltimore for a whirlwind three days of visiting family and friends. At one point during one of the many parties we attended, Alex's grandfather, "Cappy" remarked, "he is just so good." Once again, our son wowed us with his calm and steady demeanor. He truly took everything in. Here are some of our favorite photos from the holidays week.
