Holiday Cheer

We celebrated the 2012 holidays with our ever growing families - first with Dad's side, followed by a hop,  a skip, and a jump (and a plane) to Mom's childhood farm. We had barely recovered from the boys' birthday extravaganza before we were buried under the Christmas loot. We had a wonderful time with all and look forward to many more family moments in 2013.

Max doesn't have to share his Thomas the Train blanket with Wyatt anymore!

Max's picture-taking face over the past few months has become more of a pained grimace than a smile!

Birthday Boys

December's a big month, and even bigger since both boys celebrate their birthdays. Max turned a very grown-up (according to him) four years old, and Wyatt caught up a bit by turning two just two weeks later. Chocolate frosting was a must (which meant the boys didn't care whose birthday it was as long as they got their own cupcake with a candle...).



After Max's but before Wyatt's birthday, the neighborhood had its second annual "holiday kid crawl." Max lasted until the parties ended, but promptly conked out at dinner.

Wyatt's turn!

 

We had to keep the candle a good two feet from Wyatt because he kept blowing it out before we could start singing "Happy Birthday."

Despite having his own cupcake, Max had a meltdown because his didn't have a candle.
