Max's First Snow

Today Max's first snow came. I was hurrying to watch a movie we rented so we could go on a walk to return it before it started to rain. Instead of rain as you probably already know, we got snow. It was beautiful outside!

There's a snowflake about to fall on his nose.

Family snow picture.

Red Velvet for Wesley/Blueberries for Max

Wesley asked for a Red Velvet cake for Christmas. It's a lot of work and he really appreciated it. However, you can't tell from this picture. He was pretty proud of this shot though! You're so tough Wes!

I had him pose with Sam because I knew he couldn't help but to smile. It totally worked. Cute!

Unscripted. I'm glad I caught a picture of this. This reminds me of Wes's Dad.

All over his face. He must love it.

Max has had Blueberries a few times, but I can't get enough of him. Here's his sour face.

He's really got the hang of this.

He means business!!!

Christmas Day

I usually go to Grandma & Grandpa's every year for Christmas so I can watch Shaun's kid's open there Christmas presents. This year we headed over as a family to share Max's first Christmas with them. We really had a great time!

This is how the room looked before the unwrapping began.
Grandma got a new crock pot from some seriously cool daughters.

Errinne loving on sweet Max.

Sweet! Now how do you play?!

Not sure what the present is, but I just love her reaction!

Sneaky boy!

More music for Tyler. Awesome!

This was one of my favorites that Tyler got. The old school See N Say.

Trying to see how much paper we can feed Max.

Jackpot Mom! Errinne was so excited to get her printer.

Didn't take long for the room to get messy.

Proof that Wesley was there. He was the photographer for us.

Oh yes! Star Wars Lego's. Wes was totally jealous!

Time for Max to tear one apart.

It's Maxx the monkey for Max from Grandma. Thanks Grandma. He loves it!!!
Max's first Christmas cereal from Grandma.

This hammer tastes delicious! Thank you Aunt Betty & Errinne. Such a cool toy!

Striking a pose for the camera.

We ended the day at home. Max in Daddy's arms.

My sweet boys.

Christmas Eve at Home

Time for our traditional Golden Dynasty Chinese food! Yummmm!!!! Wes has everyones full attention.

Max loved the paper and bows.


Had to catch this sneeze. So cute!
Thank you Aunt Di for the cool clothes!!! They're nice and warm. I've been dressing him in them the last couple days. Different outfits of course.

Cookie Caroling Night

Last year we weren't able to have our annual Cookie Caroling night because of the snow, but we did this year. Thank goodness. I love this tradition! It was kind of thrown together and all that, but it was still really fun.

First I have to share Max's cool t-shirt we bought him the other day. Can you tell we love The Office?!
He's been practiced crawling a lot last week.

Very sweet face if I do say so!

Mr. Santa chillin on the couch waiting for caroling time.

Uncle Reid time.

He really does love Uncle Reid.

More crawling at the Zeller's.


Uncle Robert swinging Max so he won't cry. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Gotta show off the Zeller's cat's cool cat house. AWESOME! !

Play Time with Family

Aunt Errinne loves her play time with Max. We schedule time on her days off. This time we spent it at Grandma & Grandpa's house so she could also make sweets for Christmas. Oh how I loved being her taste tester.


You can't tell in this picture how much Grandma & Max love each other... Yeah right!
Yummy!

Peace!!!

Max totally won this staring contest. That's my boy!!!

Showing off the crawling skills for Aunt Errinne, Betty and Grandpa. Go baby boy!

Almost there... I don't have the picture where he reached the toy because I'm a failure. Trust me though. He totally got it. Good job Max!

Sam finally got home from playing at her cousins. We missed having our kitchen helper while we were baking.

Brandon loves his time with Max too. If for some reason he sees me without Max he gets totally bummed.

You can't see her very well, but Sam is dancing for Max to make him laugh while also sharing her bear 'General'.

Last but not least, Grandpa is doing a little dance for Max. Errinne took this picture. I'm not to blame, but I am posting it because I think it's really cute and funny! I love you Dad!!!
