Christmas Day

 On Christmas morning, the kids got up early (what else is new?) and came downstairs, excited to see what was under the tree.  Lil G came down so fast that we ended up getting a picture of him at the bottom of the stairs, instead of the top!

The first gifts that each child chose to open was the one that they had bought for each other. Smunchie was pretty happy with her "Three Little Pigs" set and Lil G was equally thrilled with his Bilibo .

After our family Christmas was over, we headed over to the White house for Christmas with Papa (James), Tutu (Brenda), Uncle Rodger and Aunt Sarah.  The kids were so excited to see everyone and keep opening gifts!

Smunchie is WALKING

 Smunchie is trying to walk!  At just shy of 16 months, she has been cruising along furniture for a loooooong time (about 6 months).  Slowly but surely, she is gaining confidence in herself to walk unassisted.  She still bumbles and stumbles a lot but she can make it across entire rooms now without any help.  It seems like she's just a little apprehensive about moving that far away from the ground.  Wonder if Lil G has anything to do with her anxiety?

Here she after walking from the couch to the chair, getting her congratulatory kisses from Tutu <3 br="">

Sweet little Smunchie

Smunchie has been growing like a weed lately,  She is fully in 18 month clothes now and she has SIX teeth!  She also has enough hair to actually support a bow!  She stands quite well and is getting close to walking.  She very much enjoys standing and trying to go through cabinets.

Here she is, in her new outfit from her Uncle Rodger and soon-to-be-Aunt Sarah.   She is also wearing a bracelet that I (Erin) wore as a baby.

Bracelets taste yum.

Christmas 2012- Part 1

Today, we got to spend time with the White side of the family, in order to celebrate the holidays.  The holiday was special for two reasons: 1.) It is Smunchie's first Christmas and 2.) It is the first Christmas that Uncle Rodger is engaged! We are so happy and blessed to be welcoming Sarah into our family.  Lil G and Smunchie were pretty excited for the Christmas festivities, including the much anticipated visit from Uncle Pooh.  We had good food, good fun and PRESENTS!  What more could you ask for?

Lil G spent some time admiring the tree.  It appears he may have been plotting his attack.

 Lil G got a Luchador mask for Christmas, from Uncle Rodger and Sarah.  He looks pretty good, huh?

 Everyone tried on the mask.  Here's Rodger.....

 And Luchador Smunchie.

Weekend Highlights

This weekend, we spent Thanksgiving with my brother and his girlfriend.  We all had a great time.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take many pictures.  But, hopefully, my dad will get me some at some point!  :-)

White Family Christmas

 After our Christmas at home, we all headed over to have Christmas with the White side of the family:  James (Papa), Brenda (Tutu), Uncle Rodger, and Glenn (Uncle Pooh).  

Lil G had a blast checking out Uncle Pooh's new flashlight.  He actually seemed to understand it's inner workings before Glenn!

Lil G got some new Shake-n-Go cars.  Here he is trying to get a picture of his car racing down the hallway. 

Lil G's new game to go with his new Nintendo DS (DS from Uncle Pooh and game from Uncle Rodger).
