December 2012

Still catching up with our family blog- it's a work in progress :) At least I'm less than 6 months behind the catch-up ball! Until I do get caught up, I will just do a brief blurb, photo, and video recap.






A "pumping" haha!
He gives kissies on demand when you make the "MUAH" noise!
Sibs!
Look who finally decided to sit up!
Mama & Baby Girl
Waiting to pick up Mama @ our car swap...
...and on another day he couldn't stay awake!
Came down to find big sis in here...
How she managed to get in there I don't want to know!
Helping Mama bake Christmas cookies!...
...and MORE cookies! Who can say "no" to more homemade
 Eggnog Nutella cookies?!
Happy buddy!
The kids' gift to Granny!
A likes to "hide" while Mommy shops.
Playdate!- Ian met his new friend Brody,
& big sisters Adelyn and Addison got to be wild as usual! :)
A's final day of gymnastics.
Ta-da!
Big boy sitting up!
Smooches underneath the mistletoe!
Messy Buster!
Loves to chew on washcloths lately!
Reading some of his favorite books
I's1st ride up front was too much for him to handle!
Luc Jr: falls asleep with electronic device in hand.
Couldn't decide if she wanted to sleep in her bed or on the floor?!

The season's 1st snowfall was on December 7th- a night that Daddy was working, go figure! But I took the kids out (very briefly!) to capture the moment & Ian's 1st time in the snow.
NOT thrilled that Mama stuck him in the snow bank for a photo opp!
A posing with Frosty (who else?!)
Even though he doesn't go to daycare with big sister yet, the ladies in the baby room still let him have an opportunity to pose like all the other babies!
Santa Baby!
Santa came to visit at A's school, so we tried to save a trip to the mall by seeing him here- and a good thing because A was terrified of Santa, and we didn't have to pay for pictures!
This was the best shot we got... 
Making Reindeer Food!
Coloring time!
Daddy kept Ian happy while Mama & big sister colored!
Santa also surprised us at our 1st time eating at Pizza Ranch...again, not so thrilled!

Mama joins again on the Santa visit..

Fun in the tub: we love our bath time! :)
Loving bath time!
Bath paint (it is really soap...genius!)

One evening the kids & I drove to a nearby neighborhood to see some Christmas lights. We even found a couple houses that put on quite the show! They sync their flashing lights to music, and when you pull up to their yard you can tune in on a certain radio station to hear the music that aligns with their lights- how cool!


We parked our car & A got to come sit up front with Mama for a better view!
The blinking lights were pretty bright!


Christmas Eve: We celebrated our Lord's birth by attending Christmas Eve mass, then eating supper at Granny & Grampy's house. The kids even got to open up one present each!

A's Christmas coat
Our 1st family-of-4-Christmas! :)
(with a little help from big sister!)


Christmas Day: We woke up early to find all the goodies Santa brought us while we were sleeping! He loaded up our stockings, and even left some gifts underneath the tree, too!

A was so excited about her new truck filled with trucks & cars!
...also equally as excited for her new drum. So much so that she couldn't keep still to fully get dressed!
Big cousin Nick joined us for Christmas Day...
Ian gazed on in amazement @ his big cousin!
Daddy needed a nap during the festivities...
A & Pete the Cat woke up Daddy.

ALSO big news, Ian turned 8 months at the end of December! YAY!
Happy 8 month b-day Sweet Pea!
