I know, I know...it's been awhile. My goal is to do a better job of keeping the blog updated. With all the craziness going on it has been hard to get pictures posted, but I will give it my best shot. The pictures will be in the opposite order from how they took place but I am sure you can follow along. Above is Christmas with Tyler's family. Tanner and his Grandma Carole are making sure that his cousin Brooklyn is handling all the excitement okay.
Below is Christmas morning at our house. Tanner quickly learned that by saying please, Daddy would lift him up to dunk that ball into the hoop. I think Tyler received quite the arm workout that morning.
Tanner and Tyler opening stockings.
It didn't take too long for Tanner to understand the concept of opening presents. The cute part was that he would get so wrapped up in what he had opened that Tyler was the impatient one trying to get him to open another one right away.
Even without mistletoe Nayeli knew what she wanted. Tanner was not quite so sure but it was very cute to watch the two of them together. We wish that we lived closer so that Tanner and Nayeli could spend more time together as they grow up.
Christmas up north seemed to be all about books. Tanner received lots of cool toys to play with and was very excited to see everyone but always ended up cuddled up next to someone reading a book. Below is Tanner and Grandpa Mike reading a book about baby animals.
Grandma Mary and Tanner were reading together, but not always the same book. I love how they are both into their own books and if you look closely Tanner's is upside down.
When the Christmas festivities first started Tanner was more interested in playing with a shoe box we had brought up then opening his actual presents.
When preparing for Christmas Tanner really tried to be helpful. I attempted once to wrap presents while he was with me, but quickly learned that the only thing getting wrapped was him. I saved the wrapping for after he went to bed.
Well that pretty much sums up our Christmas. This year was a good balance of celebrating with family and starting our own traditions. Tanner was really into all the festivities which brought that much more Joy into Christmas.
