on the way out the door, in our pjs, to see the lights at Reynolds! If you don't know about Reynolds..you should probably find out....because its my most favorite place to check out around Christmas!! :)
the light of my life. before he started crawling forward, he would only crawl backwards and he got stuck underneath the stool in the kitchen!
Don't mind the chocolate drool from Eli's mouth! hahaha. He wanted to pose with Izaak.
baaaathtime!!
Eli trying to dress himself after the bath. He had his pants on his head and his shirt around his waist. The joys of the "independence stage."
I did NOT pose him for these flower pictures. He found this hat and fake flowers and was doing it when I had my camera out. It was priceless. My little charmer! <3
love how this turned out
Helping Mimi (or YA YA or Ni Ni...whatever he was calling her that day) get all of the Christmas decorations out!
Izaak checkin things out!
Love.This.Picture.
The only picture I got of the 2 of them in front of the tree. Eli took off IMMEDIATELY after the flash went off!
He is seriously the best baby ever. He just melts my heart....every single time I see him.
What are these pine needles?!?!
Eli was trying to put them back on the tree.
playing under the tree.
find izaak.....on your mark, get set........GO.
Now decorating the tree, later that night, with Aunt Payton.
love this picture. he looooooves his aunt payton. his face LIGHTS UP whenever she enters the room.
Izaaks rosey cheeks....he had an ear infection...but was still as happy as ever!
putting the angel on top of the tree!
we told him to smile. and thats the face we got.
So my Dad is a member of the Elks Lodge in town. Every year they have a "Cookies with Santa" deal before Christmas and all of the kids get gifts (I picked them out) and they get to decorate cookies and do a little craft and meet Santa. We went and it was too much fun! Eli loved it and of course Izaak was happy as ever. It was a great time...it made for some tired boys, as you will see in a minute, but it was a great time! It will be a fun tradition for years to come!
Don't mind Eli. He looks like he is about to cry, but he was listening to the story "Twas the night before Christmas" and was so into it....I promise he wasn't crying :)
me and E decorating cookies.
Thank the Lord for my parents!
Love this picture!!
Opening their gifts!
Handy Manny. The LOUDEST toolbox EVER. :)
can you tell how sleepy they are.....this was once we got home. hahahaha.
Another day! Decorating cookies in our PJ's!
1st taste of icing. :)
I cannot tell you how much joy this little guy brings to my life!
Eating sprinkles instead of putting them on the cookies!
love this picture!
Christmas pictures coming soon! I hope to get those done tonight! But Eli needs a snack and Izaak boy is soon to wake up from his nap!
How was YOUR Christmas?!
