December Flew By

We had a wonderful December!  The month flew by.  We stayed so busy.  It was so fun to watch Walker truely experience Christmas.  He was so into all things having to do with baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Santa, reindeer and presents.  We are currently two months past all the Christmas festivities and Walker still asks about Christmas stuff almost daily.  Then he will remind himself "no more Christmas til next year".  The Christmas season through the eyes of a child has a way of bringing you back to reality.  Christmas is about Christ's birth and the simple things. It was so special to see Walker play with his nativity scene and tell the Christmas story in his little 2 year old voice.  We are so blessed by God's ultimate gift to us, grace and forgiveness.  Merry CHRISTmas!!

 Welcome to the world Baby Bridge!

 Walker was not so sure about Santa.  He asked him "where your reindeer went?"

 We went to a Donuts with Santa breakfast coordinated by our sweet friends Summer and Sherry.  Just so you know, this is how all the cool kids eat donuts.

 Ran up to Santa and Mrs. Claus as soon as they walked in

Walker set up this nativity all by himself.  So sweet!

 Trains at North Park.  I couldn't get Walker to look at me the whole time.  He loves trains!

 Walker loved waking up every morning to find out what his elf, Sam, was up to.

 Merry Christmas!

 Milk and cookies for Santa

 Walker checking out his goodies from Santa.  We had been up all night!  Walker woke up at 3am with a stomach bug and none of us went back to sleep.  He has never had a stomach bug and Christmas morning was not the ideal time to have our first.  He was still into Christmas, but not himself.

 Halfway through upwrapping presents Walker was falling asleep. So were Mommy and Daddy.

November in a Flash

I can't believe that I haven't blogged since Halloween.  I am just now getting around to sharing what we did back in November...but is already mid-Feburary.  Where did the time go? Looking at these pictures it seems like yesterday!  Just wanted to give you a quick catch up on our November.

Walker with the grandparents at Thanksgiving celebration

 We went to visiting Matt's family in Connecticut for Thanksgiving.  We stayed at Carl and Risa's house and met Dave, Cyndy, Amanda and Eliza there.  Gramma Cyndy bought Walker a harmonica.  He was a walking little one man band the the end of the weekend.

 Had a great Thanksgiving with the Zolfo and Mathis family!  Matt and I were even able to make a little adult getaway to NYC for the day.

Tiem to start getting in the Christmas spirit! Walker showing off his own little Christmas tree.
