Christmas all over Houston!

This was Taryn's very first Christmas and he got so much stuff that we couldn't even bring it all home with us. The Honda was full to the brim on the way home and it looks as if we need to start looking into an SUV. Gramere volunteered to visit us soon and bring the rest of our goodies! We had many stops to make this year as always and Taryn faired pretty well considering he was totally off schedule and did not nap very well because of all the moving around. Since we had so many stops to make Taryn needed lots of Christmas outfits. Good thing Old Navy had some to choose from. We got three different onesies to use over the Christmas holidays, Baby's First Christmas, Snow Place Like Home and of course Elf in Training. I think my favorite is Baby's first Christmas, but they were all pretty cute!


A Family photo in front of Nana & Papa's tree! This is the only one Taryn would look straight ahead for because he saw a cat outside and would not look to the camera again!
Taryn opening his first Christmas present. He was not quite sure what to do... Although he is concentrating very hard!

Pop helped him out and Taryn was happy to see the puppy dog he got from Santa!
Addie was a big help this year since she is now a Christmas veteran. She was happy to help everyone open their gifts and she helped Uncle Kevin give out gifts to everybody! She would help you open your gift and if it wasn't something that interested her she would close the box or put in down and move on to the next one.

We got Addie a shopping cart and tons of play food to put in it. This is some "Subway" play food so she can make everyone yummy sandwiches. According to her mother she loves the cart and food which happens to be all over their living room now. I guess I can expect something for Taryn to make a big mess in our house next year...!
Taryn you make a great Christmas gift! Taryn loves his new Lightning McQueen car he got from Aunt Jen & Uncle Kris. We push him around the house and he stands up behind it and pushes it around his room!
Taryn was in to eating presents and not really opening them this year!

Nene helping Taryn walk around after all the presents were open. Taryn really loves being upright, but he won't take a single step unless his hands have both of your hands. He loves to kick whatever is on the ground. I have been training him up for his first soccer season in about 3 years!
After all that hard work opening presents the little ones need a bath! Addie and Taryn had a great time taking baths together over the holidays! We had to do a little style show with their hair. Taryn is sporting the mohawk while Addie is showing us the Princess Leia (from Star Wars) look!
