The family comes for a visit

The Woodwards and Christensen came for Christmas. Aunt Denise playing with Brian in the fort that she and Uncle Tim built.

Sasha and Shorty hanging out. Grr...

Pictures of Elias

Smiling in his sleep

Wearing the custom Onesie that our friend Jay gave him. I think he's trying to look cool. Maybe the motorcycle themed clothing from his Aunt Lillie is getting into his head. Vroom vroom!

A little snowman

Since it started to rain today, we went out back to play in the snow this morning. Here Brian is hugging his snowman.

More faces

Surprised by the flash

Mama is making silly faces at me

Second trip to the doctor

Elias had his second doctor's visit yesterday. I can hardly beleive he is one month old already! He is healthy and growing well--he checked in at 8 lbs 15 oz and 22 inches. I think it is time to put away the newborn clothes already since he barely fits. It's amazing how fast he is growing!

Winter wonderland

It snowed today! Brian was so excited. We went out to play before preschool for a little bit and had a blast!

Brian grabs handfuls of snow. Yes, I know he needs gloves. I thought if we stopped to put them on there wouldn't be any time left to play. Somehow the cold didn't bother him at all.

Running in circles throug the snow.

It was so pretty ouside.

Eli was outside too, safely (and warmly) tucked inside the sleepy wrap, inside a jacket, where he slept happily though the whole excursion. Brian was crushed to find that the snow was gone after school, but I assured him there will be plenty more where that came from.

Getting ready for Christmas

We dug out the Christmas decorations and strung up a light today. Brian's looking forward to the holidays!
