I’m a little late on the Christmas recap/tree decorating pictures but hey, what are you going to do?
Duncan wasn’t quite sure what to make of the Christmas tree.
Truth be told, when we brought it in he started crying.
Christmas trees are scary! Especially when your mom is laying on the ground underneath the tree to get the thing in the stand!
Our little soldier warmed up to it quite fast though. I took him over to it so that he could touch it and see that it wasn’t a boogeyman!
Decorating it was, eh. He didn’t quite know what to make of it. He liked touching the ornaments though.
I didn’t get very many pictures of the present opening because I was too busy enjoying the moment.
That’s the good thing about holidays though, you get wrapped up in the moment of just being. Then later you get mad at yourself that you didn’t take enough pictures to remember the moment.
Here’s a few of Duncan and Daddy opening some presents though!
Like what the cats have done to the couch?
Christmas was a blast. Duncan made out like a bandit and I loved his first Christmas.
Well it’s been a couple days since T-Day and now I can feel like I can unstuff and recap.
It was a lot of fun as usual. We had to have dinner a little early. So early in fact, that it was just called lunch. We ate around 1pm because my sister had to leave for work around 5pm. Truth be told, I kind of enjoyed having it as a lunch instead of a dinner. There was plenty of time for the food to just sit there and then I was able to actually feel hungry after. That is instead of the normal feeling like a fat cow that just needs to eat and sleep.
Duncan quite enjoyed his first Thanksgiving. He had a little bit of turkey and a taste of the cranberry sauce. I don’t think he actually got any of the turkey into his mouth. Pre-dinner/lunch he nomed on his measuring cup.
You’ll have to try the pre-dinner measuring cup nomming sometime. It’s a must.
During dinner we had the usual conversation of going around the table and telling what you are thankful for. Which of course, in our family no one can just take it seriously.
However, it did turn to Nick telling us how babies are processed.
That story is for another day. Although, the boys faces were funny.
Don’t mind the background. It’s just Sheetrock and plywood.
The story in one word: Amazing.
Oh, the big wet spot on the table? Yea, we can never just stay too nice for too long!
There goes all the napkins!
Shaina’s fountain soda cup is classy. We’re all about class around here!
And here’s a couple pictures I thought were cute.
So our Thanksgiving was pretty fun if I do say so myself.
And I do.
On to Christmas! Bring it on December!
Sometimes lately, snapping a photo of Jeremy is really hard. He is getting totally into the phase of ‘on the go’. He wants nothing to do with standing in one spot, especially when he is outside.
However, sometimes you get lucky and you get a gem of a photo. When I get that, I revel in it and love it. This needs to be printed, framed, and put on my desk.
Man, looking at it gives me a toothache he’s so sweet. He gets cuter and cuter everyday! Even when he throws his horrible tantrums!
We went to the park today and had a blast. The last time we went to the park Duncan was itty bitty and didn’t look around or anything.
I wanted to go to the park for two main reasons. I wanted Ruby to run around to her hearts content and I wanted to take pictures there. The pictures will come at a later post but, I just wanted to show off our first ever (after 5 months, pretty sad, huh?) family picture!
It is about dang time I tell ya.
Every other time since Duncan has been born that Jeremy would go up to him he would run away scared. Well, we think he’s putting it on.
Slowly he has been warming up to him and playing with him. The first time he actually touched him it was to poke his belly button. The next was to touch his feet.
Since those little pokes it has no graduated to full fledged playing.
Okay, it might help that this toy used to be Jeremy and Shaina is letting us borrow it.
Duncan thinks Jeremy is just the bees knees!
Finally! No running scared!
