Four Months Old

I was dusting the other day when I realized how labor-intensive this chore is because of CJ's imagination. There are clutter fests of toys in every room, on every surface. And each one tells a story, and if I move any on of the 500+ items from any given "scene," he recognizes it immediately. They are carefully thought-out cities, battles, parking lots, combat zones.

Drew was blessed the day after Christmas and it was such a special event for us. We felt so blessed to have both of our dads, my grandpas and all of our brothers there to participate in his blessing. There was something so sweet about having a baby at Christmas time, especially as we sang one of my very favorite Christmas hymns "Away in a Manger."

Christmas 2010

We spent this year in Utah with all of our relatives and had such a fun time. It was the baby's big debut meeting everyone which made it all the more special. I just loved having a baby at Christmas time!

This toy is literally made for one year-olds but Trey's favorite thing to do is drive! He walks around the house with the steering wheel from Mario Kart on the Wii and pretends it's his car so we bought him this little steering wheel toy and he loved it!
He also loves anything with an on and off switch and a motor. So he was in heaven with the pretend leaf blower he got from his grandparents.
We got CJ an iPod touch.

My nephews got this sweet little puppy from Santa. And my boys were in love with her.

They were also in love with the money they earned at my mom's house during BINGO-for-cash-sleep-over-night. Each grandchild won over $20 bucks!



Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
