Noyes Family Blog: Christmas 2009

We celebrated Cole's first Christmas with various events with friends and family. Although Cole did not know that Christmas day was different from any other day, we enjoyed sharing in his first Christmas and creating traditions as a family together. We could not be more blessed to have this adorable little guy in our lives and feel that he is the best gift we received this year! As we celebrated the birth of our first son, it was also important for us to recognize the true meaning of Christmas which is the birth of Jesus! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well! We look forward to many more wonderful memories together as a family in 2010!

The family Christmas Celebrations began several weeks ago with the Wildeman/MacMullin/Noyes families doing our annual get together. In the past we have attended a show and gone to dinner but with two new additions to the family we figured going to see a show probably wouldn't be the best option. Instead we spent the day touring two Newport Mansions and then enjoyed dinner at the Black Pearl. It was a great day with everyone and the boys were very well behaved!

On Christmas Eve we hosted an Open House for our families. We enjoyed getting together with both sides of our families (oh and all the delicious food and drinks weren't too bad either!)

We spent Christmas Day in our pj's ALL DAY! It was wonderful as we enjoyed being together as our new family in our new house. In the morning we took a walk down to Brian, Tat, and Mason's and then came back home to cook a turkey dinner and hang out together. Later in the day we took Zoey for a walk through the neighborhood. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable first Christmas as a family.

On Saturday, we attended the last of our Christmas celebrations at Mima and Papa's house with the Brown/Casado/Perrault/Wildeman families. It was great getting together with everyone and enjoying some delicious food!
