With Age Comes Wisdom

We tried again today to have a visit with Santa...this time at the mall. This was the best picture we could get after Evan loosened the death grip on me for a split second. He was so scared of Santa. Unlike last year, where he was so intrigued. I guess he could tell that this guy was a different Santa then the one he was best buds with last year. But, as soon as he was behind the fence again and strapped safely into his stroller Evan waved bye bye to Santa and blew him a kiss.
And Santa said Ho Ho Ho What a good boy you are Evan!

The Unifiller Kids Christmas Party

Last Saturday while I was at work, Brian took Evan to the kids christmas party at his work. He made christmas rice krispies treats for the potluck and everything! And they had a great father-son day.

THE "NO SANTA" DEATH GRIP. Evan was so against sitting with Santa this year that he had the death grip on Daddy

 

Evan just wanted Dad to sit down with him and Santa

Scroll way down to catch up on the month of November

Also in November, we got our floors done. Anyone need a flooring guy... my cousin Scott does a great job!
See before and after below.

 

 

And Evan got his first tricycle. Yes, we now have one more bike in the house.

 

 

Cooper

 

5 days after we moved into our house we had our first houseguests come to visit. Lance, Ann and Cooper stayed with us for a weekend. It was a welcome distraction from unpacking that we would have otherwise been doing and we really enjoyed their visit. Cooper is such a happy and content baby and it was so nice to finally meet him.

Some pictures from the visit

Back in Time to November 2007

Before I start posting holiday pictures I have to go back in time a little to post some of the pictures from our move that have been forgotten with all the business in the past couple months. It has been a very important and happy time in our lives moving into our new house and therefore should be documented on the blog. These first two pictures are the last few photos we have of Evan in the old townhouse. As you can see, he had fun with the packing.
