For the second year in a row, Evan spent Christmas in Connecticut. We want him to grow up experiencing Christmas morning like I always did, in his own house. Evan was much better at unwrapping presents; he opened one of Daddy's two days before Christmas. Next year, it will be much tougher because he may grasp the concept of Santa and receiving presents before the big day. Despite missing our own families and traditions, we had an excellent Christmas. We went a little overboard with the gifts this year, but we had a lot to be thankful for since we were a fully-functioning family once again.

Evan's First Birthday
You only turn 1 year old once (pun intended), and Evan had several parties, in Baltimore and in Hartford. Jenn invited her friends from work and their families; we had nearly 50 guests. Needless to say, Evan made out like a bandit thanks to the generosity of our guests. He didn't even understand the concept of birthdays or gifts yet. It took three nights to get him to open all of his presents, but it was a good warm-up for Christmas.
Evan's First Halloween
Posted the pumpkins months ago, but I never showed off Evan in his first Halloween costume. It was extremely tempting to dress him up as Megatron, and Yoda was actually a strong possibility, but we'll wait until he's old enough to wear makeup.
