First snow for Max

Max was getting 3 new teeth in this day.  But I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to get him outside for the first snow of his life and for possibly the last snow of the year!  Don't worry, I bundled him up and he was drugged up on tylenol.  Yes, I'm such a good mom!

Christmas cookies (& grandpa's visit)

This year we had our friends, the Jacobs, over to help decorate sugar cookies. Do you like Liam's puddle of frosting, I mean cookie decorating? While decorating the cookies, our neighbors came Christmas caroling to our house. I invited them in for cookies, at which point I turned around to see Liam lapping up frosting from his cookie like a dog. So much for making our invite for cookies seem appealing.
And below is our mystery Christmas shape. We decided it looked more like a dress (although Chad later enlightened us that it was a reindeer), so our friend Karen made a lovely smiley face head to top the headless body.
And these pictures...my father in law came for a short visit. (He was actually here for the cookie decorating too...I just didn't get too many pictures). I thought it was funny- Liam never sits here at this side of the table, especially when he has a movie on! But he wanted to hang out by his grandpa.

Max- 8 months old

Ya, don't mind the food stains on the shirt. I wasn't planning on taking "8 month" pictures. I was just hanging out with Chad in the basement while he was figuring out wiring stuff and I thought, 'Hey, might as well try my hand at some Christmas-lights-in-the-background pictures!'. So I did.

Bolivar Christmas Parade

This past Saturday was the town's annual Christmas parade. We went with our friends the Byers. It was cold...but a lot of fun! Can you not tell he loves firetrucks? But apparently not as excited about firefighters. :) Max was ready to be done by the end of it all! It was cold. And Liam...he was fine with the cold as long as it meant he got more candy.
