Christmas

Our tiny Christmas tree

The new bike.

Do you think we can reach that one?

Max's One Year Pictures

He looked like a little man! I have all the pictures they shot but these were my favorites. I also have them all in black and white and all in color but what you see here is what I had printed (minus the full body in color on the black background).

Christmas pics

Max sure did love Jessie! The jury is still out as to how she felt about him!

Playing together

Playing with her new toys
Chloe and her "baby Alice" (a name she came up with on her own)

Duking it out over Cheerios
Two monkeys in their monkey pjs
My beautiful boy
Chloe and her stocking
Gavin and his stocking
Evan and Chloe in the wreckage...



The best picture I could get of the two of them under the tree.... oh well.... maybe next year I will at least get faces!
All Chloe said she wanted from Santa were pink presents.... so she got pink presents!
A blurry pic of all the loot (this is for Evan, Dave, Jeanette, mommy, Daddy, and grandma and grandpa too.... not just for our kids!)
Santa couldn't bring the BIG wagon to NY so a little one took it's place

Chloe's "sugar plum" dance

Chloe received this ballet skirt and slippers from Grandpa and Charlie.... and here she is performing her version of "brown girl in the ring". I think we may have a future star on our hands! 

Playing Monster

New picture

So they said there was a problem with the cd and they let us retake our picture. Max still wasn't happy but that is part of the fun.

Max and his Boy Santa

I am not sure if I want to take this back and have them retake the picture since it isn't what I expected. I thought there would be more of Max... what do you think? I didn't see the picture until I took the cd to Target to get printed.

Upon further review and thought I think what happened was that the photographer zoomed in to see his face and forgot to zoom out before burning the cd. Still not sure if I will have it retaken.

Gavin trying to move

Gavin is getting more and more frustrated about not being able to move. Tonight he started scootching on his butt and this is my attempt to capture it. I have heard of babies who "crawl" like this, never on their hands and knees, so who knows? You will notice I am fighting with Chloe for the camera in this also. Gotta love the terrible twos!

Gavin's "arm"

Okay, so I know baseball runs in the family and all... but I am not sure I can stomach 18 years of baseball. Give this kid soccer ball... well, I guess he will need to learn to walk for that one.

Dan and Gavin horsing around...

Please daddy... pick me up! It is boring down here!
Balancing baby..... 

Well, another child for Dan to toss around! Gavin loves it ALMOST as much as Chloe did at this age.

Gavin is giggling like crazy here as Dan swings him upside down.
He will most certainly like roller coasters.... up and down.... up and down....

levitating baby! (the red-eye in the second one really gives it that possessed look!)

Hard to be Humble

Evan getting some music lessons form Grandpa.

Santa

As soon as Evan saw Santa he started yelling "bike!" He was a very brave boy and asked Santa for a red bike numerous times. He even specified that he did not want a blue bike.

Christmas Tree

He likes to see his reflection and stick his tongue out.
