MM Birthday #2

When your birthday is so close to Christmas, it can be challenging to keep Christmas and birthday separate.  MM's birthday falls three days after Christmas and three days before the New Years celebration. 
We definitely take advantage of celebrating his birthday when the family is in town, makes things so much easier!  And eventually, he'll understand why he gets more presents than most around this holiday!

Finally!  I'm 2!

Christmas #2

We spent Christmas Eve at my mother-in-law's.  RM and his wife, LM were there and they brought along Tasha.  We had great food and a lot of laughs!

Christmas

I love the holidays!  As chaotic as it can gets, I love my family and I love being around them. 
A lot of new additions to the family as we begin to grow.  By next Christmas, we'll have another addition and I'll have another title to my name...yikes!  I'm still pondering on what I should be called, hmmmm?

Brace Face

The time has come for TJ to get his braces.  He was counting down the days...finally December 21st arrived!  He was so excited!!  He was a little nervous (I think with anticipation) and made it through the appointment like a champ. 

However, the next couple of days he didn't have much of an appetite.  His mouth was throbbing with a dull ache due to the braces.  I think he dropped a pound or two!
