Christmas

  I left my camera at the in-laws :( so I will have to do my Christmas decoration post later.  Sorry Patty!  Well I hope everyone had a good Christmas, we did!  Adrian is having fun with his presents.  I still have to get my Christmas cards out (insert embarrassed face here) but it's the thought that counts right?    I had forgotten my camera on Christmas eve so I have to ask my mom to send me the family picture we took.

This is the only picture I got of his whole outfit and he was mad because he wanted to be held.  Don't worry, I took a picture and picked him up right away. His sad face is so sad.
     My parents often get Christmas crackers, it's something I remember from England when I was little. They normally have a paper crown, a little paper with corny jokes and a small toy. The particular ones they bought this year had whistles inside of them. They were all a different pitch and came with instructions to play songs.  Mom was the conductor and it was hilarious. We had terrible timing, people got distracted, Joe cheated and our efforts never sounded like a song, and it was fun!  We opened presents and one thing Adrian got was an adorable outfit from my parents. An off-white sweater with little ears on the hood, cuffed jeans with plaid on the cuff, and a onesie that looks like a tie and glasses are hanging off the neck. Matt said it would look good with chucks and I went into cuteness overload.  

     Eric wasn't able to make it for Christmas, so it was sad but he was there in spirit.  One of these days I would like to go visit him.  Now that Matt's schedule is a little more flexible there will be more opportunities.

     On Christmas day we spent the day with Matt's parents.  We opened gifts, had breakfast, fawned over the baby and the boys went on an awesome scavenger hunt.  The end result was that Greg and Matt found their gifts hidden in the house and Chris had GPS coordinates to our house where he found his new kayak! Adrian got that jumperoo pictured below (from MILs sisters) and that adorable outfit from Allie (see below) among other awesome things. Needless to say, I now have the next two outfits for his professional pictures. 


His cheeks got really pink on Christmas.  They're better but I have no idea what happened.



Chris's girlfriend Allie bought this for Adrian. Are you melting from cuteness??





My baby can sit in a high chair!



Video!
He's a little too short somehow. He still likes it!


Playing with dad. Our coffee table broke.

We did have a great time with those whistles. Everyone was laughing so hard. What a great time, and having Adrian and the other kids there made it so fun.
