Christmas Vacation

It's been nice having this last week of the year off. We're enjoying our Christmas tour (2011). This year we had to visit all the grandparents. First to Blaine then to Idaho. While I have enjoyed the family time, I'm itching to start my 2012 to do list. But first one last Christmas celebration with Xavier's Great Grandparents.

Christmas is almost here

We spent the weekend wrapping up the last of our holiday shopping. We kept it local, so no major mall crowds to battle. Then I found some time between gift exchanging with friends to bake Christmas cookies.

I will say baking with a one year old is a little challenging, there was a lot of one arm mixing. Perhaps, next year he will be a little more into helping or at least eating the yummy chocolates.

Christmas Cheer

The stockings are hung and the tree is trimmed. Finally, we had a weekend at home to enjoy a little holiday decorating.

Birthday Wrap Up

Xavier's birthday weekend was a lot of fun. It was three days of events with friends and family.



First a Seahawks Game on Thursday Night.

Followed up with a Birthday Party on Friday Night.

Then more birthday fun with the Grandparents on Saturday.

Now its time to pull out the Christmas decorations, December is going to fly by!

Happy Birthday Xavier

What a year this has been, as they say having a child changes your life but what they do not say enough of is how much joy that child brings into your life. Xavier, is blessing and we can't imagine our life without this little guy. Let the Birthday Fun Begin!
