Christmas Eve at Grandma Dawn and Grandpa Tom's. I believe he was opening his walking and barking battery operated doggie:
Grandpa shows Ben how to push his beautiful new Polar Express train, or is he playing?
Choo choo:
Ben Shan Shan tries on daddy's new hat:
Christmas morning at home with Ben Shan Shan and our furry babies. Mickey plays with his new rabbit:
Sienna plays, or shall we say kills, her bunny:
Baaba and mommy give Ben a set of additional animals for his Noah's Ark boat:
Oooh it's an airplane:
Later, Bob's family. Here, Uncle Michael and Isabel:
and Aunt Monica:
Isabel and Ben play with Ben's Polar Express set:
Books from Isabel and Grandma and Grandpa Schmid that Ben will enjoy when he gets old enough to understand them:
Car transport truck from Uncle Dan...Ben loves to load his many matchbox cars on it:
A book from Monica's brother and fam that Ben loves:
A learning and music board from Grandma and Grandpa Schmid that Ben loves to play with:
Isabel looks at the fruit set from Ben for her kitchen:
Ben also loves his blocks from Grandpa and Grandma Schmid:
Grandma and Grandpa also gave Ben and daddy a fighter pilot set that only daddy will play with until Ben gets old enough to join him:
Day after Xmas at the Daley Center downtown. Seeming as how Ben is about 2/3 my height, it's a little difficult for me to carry him:
Saturday after Xmas...Xmas celebration with Great Uncle Terry, Great Aunt Donna, and seconds cousins Steve and Dave. Here, with mommy and baaba:
Uncle Dan, our sweetie, Grandma Schmid, and Cousin Isabel: 
Dave, Ben, Terry, Donna:

LOVE THE PHOTOS!!!! I am so deliriously happy for you guys. :-) Two things I notice from your pics: Cole has the SAME set of puzzles, Melissa & David, right? He loves them. Second, our dog got the SAME bunny for Christmas from her Grammy! We were freaked out by how realistic it looks and since she LOVES to chase bunnies in our neighborhood, she loved the bunny.....to death. She just decapitated it today after a hearty game of tug with my hubby. hahaha!
What a special time this must be for your new little family. Lots of new experiences. Andrew has the same train and a similar train set. He was excited to see the pics and called Ben by his chinese name.
Happy New Year!
