A Merry Christmas indeed!

A Merry Christmas to all!

We had a wonderful Christmas holiday this year. Bruce was lucky enough to spend his first Christmas with all his Grandparents and his East Coast aunts and uncles, though everyone was in our thoughts, particularly as our Nebraska family was hit by a bigtime blizzard this year, Delaware was chilly, and the Miami contigent, while warm, was equally missed.

We started off Christmas week with the greatest snowfall on record for our area in the last few decades, guaranteeing Bruce's (and Deanna's) first White Christmas (as you may have seen in pictures on our blog) . It was pretty, even this Florida girl will admit. We were joined by Pop Pop on Monday and Grandma and Grandpa Heier on Tuesday and it was really nice to have everyone around. Bruce is a lot more mobile and interactive since the last time we were all together. Everyone got to see Bruce sporting his new pearly white teeth (we're up to 8 teeth now! 4 on top, 4 on the bottom) and they got to see his new moves too as he can quickly get from one side of the room to the other by either crawling or walking while hanging on to the gates or couches with one hand. He's quite a squirmy boy, doesn't sit still for very long; that's the Eleuterio (Guerra) in him.

On Christmas Eve, Grandma and Grandpa Heier headed North to Macungie to see Lena and Aunt Rhonda in their church Christmas pageant. While we, with Pop Pop, headed over to Aunt Lisa and Uncle Rich's house for a traditional Cuban Buena Noche celebration (blog post to follow).

Christmas morning, Bruce awoke to several presents under the tree left by Santa and many family and friends, of which he was most excited about the gift wrap! Lots of neat presents and beautiful Christmas cards from those near and far. Thanks to all who sent their Christmas wishes. Then on Christmas Day we headed up to Macungie to join Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Kevin, Aunt Rhonda, Lena and Brett for Christmas Dinner (another blog post to follow).

We hope you all had a Wonderful Christmas too and that the joy of the season made its way into each of your hearts!

Many of you asked what Bruce thought of Christmas, well...

I think it's safe to safe he liked it!
