More Merry Christmas

Santa has a new reindeer. You thought Rudolph with his red nose could light the skies? How about some red hair to really brighten things up!

Evan loves his books!

Merry Christmas to all

Evan dressed up for Christmas Eve service at our church. He was a very good boy, and thoroughly enjoyed all the Christmas music.

Mommy and Evan on Christmas Eve. Evan was sporting his "I Love Santa" bib. He just finished a holiday feast of pears, chicken and stars, yogurt and rice cereal. Mmm.

Look what Santa brought Mommy and Daddy!

Evan is all ready to dive into his presents. We quickly found out that a one year old enjoys unwrapping gifts for about 5 minutes. Then it's either time to harass the cat or take ornaments off the tree. Next year will be different.


Evan was given a black bean from a burrito mommy was eating. At first Evan studied this strange new object. He then delicately placed his thumb and forefinger around it, picked it up and...put it in his ear! We took it out and put it in front of him, mimicking eating it. Guess what? Yup, he put it in his ear again. Crazy kid!

Thanksgiving

Evan spent his first Thanksgiving with family and friends at
Grandma Pat's house. He took his very first steps the day
before Thanksgiving and is now walking better every day.
First taste of turkey - yum, yum!

I love my mommy and she sure loves me.
