Slacking Family!

Sorry guys, keeping up with a blog is harder than it seems! However, we've also just moved so getting settled into a whole new place might have something to do with that! 

First, let us share with you our big boy Max's first birthday! That's right, that tiny little bundle that was just born, is now a walking, talking, climbing, yelling little toddler! :) We had a birthday party at our friends Clark and Andrea's house, who have a little girl Paige, who turned 2 on the same day! Our other friend Drew turned 3 about a week earlier, so lots of birthday in January!

Kid playing!

Pops and baby boy!





First bite of sweetness!




Notice June pulling her friend in with a rope!


Almost there!


And then Max fell face first into the dirt, and all fun was over, lol.

Ahhh, good 'ole Holidays!

Happy Holidays to all! It was a wonderful season for us this year, hope for you all as well. We missed our distant families terribly though! However, we were blessed with lots of cards from home and even gifts to remind us and the kids how loved we are!

Okay, here are ALL the pictures from Christmas. This year June really got to understand what Christmas is about, both in respect to the Baby Jesus and why we celebrate Christmas, to Santa, Christmas lists, and wishing for presents! As you'll see, we baked, iced, and left out cookies for Santa, and June was such a wonderful, sweet girl this year, to have deserved every present she opened! And Max, well, he liked the food, and his toys for about 5 minutes at a time :)


When Junes awake (each morning as soon as it is even dawn)...
Everyone's awake! 
Whether they want to be or not!


Cookies and milk for Santa. 



Early morning huddle, hehe.



More cookies ...


Yummy treats ...


And for a 3 year old, the best of all ...
Presents!



And, her long awaited roller skates. 
She immediately proclaimed 
"Aww, Santa should have gotten me TWO roller skates for TWO feet!" 
The second one is in the box! She was so cute.


Their tent, which broke after 5 minutes! 



Max's ball popper. He was mesmerized.


And a first try in the kitchen! She's getting it!



Happy New Year!!!
