Christmas journey, part I

We have about a billion photos from Christmas, so it will probably take me a while to go through them all and post the good ones. Here's a start.

Christmas break consisted of a tour of the Midwest.

Our first stop was to Clinton, OH, where we stayed for a couple of nights with Uncle Chris, Aunt Kim, and Joshua.

Joshua greets Sean upon our arrival.

Sean says hi to Norton, who did not like our two kitties in his territory for a couple of days (Oliver & Maggie were shut in a bedroom, but once Norton found out about their presence, he was trying to get in the room all weekend).

Grandma S. and Sean reading a Christmas story.

Here are Joshua and Sean in their Christmas pajamas from their Great Grandparents Natale.

Here's the family in front of the tree. I'm not sure why Sean looks so bored, he got plenty of toys, books, and clothes!

Dad opens a gift with super special wrap!

A new hat (or helmet?) and gloves from Grandma and Grandpa Spoonhower.

Christmas Eve Eve dinner.

We dressed Joshua and Sean in outfits their dads once wore. All I can say is WOW. Anyway I'm glad we did it when we did and didn't wait any longer, because the boys were a little too big for the outfits. I accidentally zipped a bit of Sean's neck into the zipper, which he did not appreciate. So then I decided to go with the casual, not-zipped-all-the-way look.

Collar up for extra style!

Congratulations to the Vnaks!

Baby boy #3 has arrived!

Sean's new favorite game:

Cinnamon Ridge for the Holidays

Wrestlemania!

My money is on Mr. Sean.

A few videos

Sean likes to play peekaboo with Dad.





Sean plays the piano very well for a 7-month-old. The other day he was also singing along!

December photos

Here are some photos from the past few weeks.

I was trying to play catch with Sean by rolling balls toward him, but I don't think any of them made it back to me. That's ok though, he was having fun!

Check out the awesome outfit that Grandma Spoonhower saved for Sean from when Jeff was a baby!

Here is the view from our balcony the morning after the first big snowfall of the year (mind you, a big snowfall around here is any accumulation at all - here I think we got maybe two inches).

Since we have the stuff from a 3-bedroom house with a basement crammed into an 1,150-square foot apartment, we thought we had no room for a Christmas tree this year. Until, of course, we realized that there was a blank wall above one of our couches. So, now we have a Christmas tree! Isn't it beautiful?

Here we are playing on the floor.

I have an advent calendar above the sink that has a Bible verse for each day until Christmas.

More playing on the floor....

I have a few videos to upload, so I will post those soon....
