The Merriest

Christmas! I feel like we think and plan for it for weeks, sometimes months and then it's here and gone. Although our celebrations lasted a week! With both of our families in town, we like to be able to see everyone at some point around Christmas. Here is a picture recap of our festivities (starting at the beginning of December):

I hope everyone had a peace-filled and blessed Christmas!

Here's proof that Max is a little obsessed with robots, even though his exposure to them has been quite minimal.

There was an elephant and rhino sitting on the shelf

Max points to the rhino: Elephant!

Me: No, that's a rhino. This is the elephant.

Max: Oh, yeah.

A few minutes goes by. He holds up the rhino

Max: Robots?

Me: Rhino


And today....


Me: Do you want to go see Santa?

Max: Yeah!

Me: You will have to sit on his lap and he'll probably ask you what you want for Christmas.

Max: Want.....

Thinks about it for a minute

Max: Robots!!

And just like that....he's two.

Hello friends. We have been so busy over the last few months that blogging felt a bit overwhelming on top of everything else. But I'm back! And our little boy is TWO. I know everyone says this, but how did that happen?! Yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital, I swear. And now he's practically a teenager. Please time, you need to slow down!

I will be posting pictures of his birthday party, as well as what we have been up to over the last three months, but for now here are a few 2 year old pics of the lad.
