Merry Christmas

We celebrated Christmas two days early this year (Brian has to fly over Christmas this year. They boys have no idea when "real" Christmas is supposed to be). We had such a nice day together and despite the date, it really did feel like Christmas!

Our "Elft on the Shelf" .. Jake named him Elvis. He hung out in the Christmas Tree  on Christmas Day.

Playing with Daddy

Max just learned to wave .. and does it all the time

Posing with Jake's new tricycle

Yeah for the airport toys!

Super excited to open the new tricycle .. Thanks Aunt Sara & Grandma Sheila!

"Mowing" the lawn .. Thanks Papa Rich & Grandma Debbie

Ahhh ... Christmas in Phoenix. Looks like it could be July.

Santa Max

Should we have a caption contest for this picture?

Trying to get a picture with Max is fun when he is trying to crawl away

The Grocery Store

Whoooo hooooo!! Life is good when you get to "drive" the grocery cart. How is it that our boys are so big already? I wish they could stay babies forever (babies that sleep well, through the night).

I wish Brian wasn't so serious all the time .. if I could just get him to lighten up a bit it would be great.

Yes, people were laughing.
