December Moments

December has been such an amazing month for our family! My brother Graham arrived, and before we knew it, it was time to celebrate Christmas! Here are some picture of our journey through the month...

Tell me what you need, baby brother...



Our family made cookies with the Martins a few weeks ago. Nothing gets you in the holiday spirit like being with good friends with yummy cookies!

Graham, our baby burrito!

I was very helpful!


Uncle 'Dawi' kept me laughing...


I showed Drew how to do my puzzles. She was a little more focused on snacking on Goldfish!

Uncle David iced our first cookie...

Come on in, Drew! This is great!

Sweet baby...


Like father, like son...

Oh my!


This is messy and marvelous!


The day was great, but exhausting!

Here are a few pictures from our early Christmas with Aunt Kathlyn at Grandmommy's.

Aunt Kathlyn was extra careful while holding Graham...she'd had a bit of a cold.

Mommy and Grandmommy couldn't help but giggle at silly Aunt 'Kakin'...

Aunt Carly and Tyler were such fun to play with!


Laughing around the table with the family...

Big eyes...

The whole gang...

Mommy and I started a new tradition on Christmas Eve. We worked together all day in the kitchen to bake cookies for Santa and to make a yummy dinner for our family.

Should I do it?

Nah...I'll leave the eating part to the others.

Later that night, Aunt Amy and Uncle Jeff came for dinner. We had such a great night!


Gam'ma and Gam'pa came for dinner, too.



Later that night we got in our
jammies and got ready to wait for Santa!

I love you, Graham!

Mommy and Daddy read The Night Before Christmas to everyone. Then we all settled in for a long winter's nap...

Christmas morning came before we knew it...

And guess what...Santa came!!!

He brought wonderful toys! I must have been a good boy!

I love my tunnel!

Away we go!

What's inside Gam'ma?

Isn't my baby brother great, Grandmommy?

After things quieted down, Poppy and Graham relaxed together...

The day after Christmas, the celebrations continued. Mimi, Papa and Uncles Phil and Roper came to visit. We had such a special visit...

Mimi got LOTS of lovin from Graham.

Papa found some time to cuddle, too...between play times with me, of course!

Mimi and her boys...

Uncle Roper is a natural. Phil was such fun, too!

Precious boys...



Yes, this Christmas was the most special yet. So many blessings!

But, let us not forget, there is one thing more to celebrate this month! Tomorrow, I will be 2!!!!

Mommy and Daddy can't believe it. I've grown to be such a special big boy. I bring so much joy to everyone that loves me. I'll be celebrating my big day on Saturday since New Year's Eve is such a busy day for everyone. So, stay tuned for birthday shots!

Until then, I'll leave you with my very special 'potty' shot! Here I am after my first sucess at home! Such a big boy!!!

Brothers' Bond

Yesterday was a very special day for our family...
Yesterday, my brother, Graham, and I met.


Mommy said that it was one of the most special moments she's ever seen. She said that my gentle and loving spirit truly lit up the moment. She said it was magical to watch my instant bond and love for my baby brother. Mommy and Daddy feel so incredibly blessed to have two beautiful healthy boys.

Here are a few pictures of our special moments...
