16 months & Christmas

Another great holiday this month and a great start to a fresh, new year. December has been busy with my dad's annual Christmas concert, 2 boat parades, Disneyland, my birthday party aboard the Irvine Railroad, Christmas Eve dinner and white elephant at Grandma MaryLou's, and of course a wonderful Christmas morning, afternoon and night with the rest of the families! Then a 2 night trip to Arrowhead where Hunter saw his first snowfall, followed by ringing in the new year, warm and cozy at home. Here's hoping for another great year, and hopefully buying our first home in 2011!








Hunter received so many great presents this year, he really enjoyed ripping the wrapping paper and all the attention he got. He has been trying to talk more and more lately and when the words wont come out, he finds another way to be very clear. Like if he is thirsty, he will take his cup in one hand, your hand in another and put them together. If you ask him a question he nods yes or no, although he may or may not understand the question, I'm still not sure sometimes. He has really been testing Chase and I lately on how firm our "no"s are, but I am proud to say we hold strong. No means no and with consistancy, we hope to curb the whining by not giving in. Pray for us. :)
