Saxton Family Christmas

All the Christmas festivities start at my mom's house bright and early Christmas Eve morning. Since this was Asher's first time opening presents, I really didn't expect much. I was pleasently surprised at how much he enjoyed it! Granted, he was more interested in the paper than what was in the paper, but it was still pretty fun! Here's some pics of all the fun:

 Our little family before all the fun began! Asher is grinning at Uncle Tyler instead of looking at the camera!

 Tuckered out and cuddled up in his new blanket from Aunt Allison!

Liu Family Christmas

Well, I really had every intention of blogging a lot this month....yet this is my first! oops!! We've been so busy and had random internet access, but we're back home after all the Christmas travelling so I'll try to do some re-caps this week.

Tonight we opened our presents since we just got home last night.

 Even Emma got some new toys which she took to her bed and hasn't stopped playing with!!

 He opened his book all by himself! Although I think he's more excited about the paper!

Trying out his new booster seat! We haven't started solids yet, but this will come in handy when we do! (As will the baby bullet I got!)

More to come later!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We've had a great Thanksgiving! I cooked a Thanksgiving lunch of chicken, stuffing, cranberry relish, rolls, mashed potatoes, pie, and cookies! We had some friends over for lunch, since we didn't make it home to Missouri this year. 

 My little turkey....a year ago we were just making all the announcements! That was one quick year!

Now, if you'll excuse me, we must get back to planning our black Friday strategy!

What a Difference a Year Can Make!

This week last year we gave this onesie to my sister to make our big announcement! I can't believe it's already been a year!

The Big THREE-OH

Yep, Chris is officially out of his 20s! I guess that means he's actually an adult!

 I gave him his gifts from Asher and I in the morning...hence the pjs here

To celebrate, we went with some friends to one of our favorite local restaurants for dinner. Then we came back to the house for cake and presents.

 On our way to dinner!

 Chris with his cake! He wanted me to make 'Lek's Strawberry Cake'. It turned out pretty great! I love how Asher is eyeing the cake in this pic!

 Chris with one of his gifts from the Sharps (insert my eye roll here)

A quick family pic...and for the record, even though it looks it, my son really isn't in pjs all day! It was kind of late when we got home from dinner so I changed him into jammies so when he crashed he'd be ready!

Well, Chris had a pretty great day, and says he doesn't feel any different....luckily, I have a while until I catch up!!

Best.Sound.Ever.

Sunday Morning Silliness

We bought him his jumparoo last month and he's finally figured out how to really get going! However, he's still just a little short so he gets going will just one foot! It's soo hilarious!! Plus, I think that crazy hair just adds to the hilarity of it all!
