Many of our pictures and videos get taken at the dinner table. We are all together and just enjoying our time as a family.
One funny thing that Josh is doing these days is “Shake it off!” If you put something over his head, he will vigorously shake it to get it off. Funny boy.

Santa brought Allie a new, big-girl bike–complete with bell! And he brought Josh a trike with a handy strap to hold him on the seat and a handle so that mommy and daddy can push and steer. It has been so warm lately that the day after Christmas, we were able to get outside and try them out.

We traveled during naptime on Christmas to the Dilgers. It was a great drive with Josh sleeping more than 3 hours, Allie more than 2 and Mommy getting a nap in, too. It was great to see Alex, Jaime and Case. Case is getting so big and crawls very very fast. Opening presents was a little chaotic and at times slow as you can see below.
We had some time to play on the 26th before heading back and Allie and Josh had a great time with Papa and enjoyed Nana’s treadmill, too.

We had a low-key Christmas Eve. We spent a lot of the day in comfy clothes. For lunch, Ryan and I tried our hand at homemade sushi. It was yummy but the kids preferred leftover pizza. We headed to church at 3:30 for Christmas Eve service, but the church was crowded and Josh wasn’t feeling well so we didn’t make it through the whole service. We did get to sing some Christmas carols though and that is always nice. After church, we decorated cookies for Santa, had a good dinner and then headed off to bed.

We had a great time at the Luellen’s celebrating Christmas. We enjoyed a yummy brunch and then Santa came with presents.

Rapidly catching up on all things December here. And I was able to get daily pictures/stories for December through the 13th. After that, things get a little more spotty but we are only about 2/3 of the way through our Christmas season so we have time to make it up. Enjoy the finished pages and then videos below to go with days 5, 12 and 13.

And here is a video of poor Josh, with a cold, sleeping very loudly. Reminded me so much of his daddy.

Like so many things we parents stress about, this was a total non-event. He didn’t even need the lollipop to stay calm. No crying at all and while he was wiggly, the haircut lady said she would take wiggly over screaming any day. Look at our handsome boy now!
