Oliver's First Christmas

Mike and I were so bummed about Christmas this year because we had NO money.  Mike had an umbilical hernia and the doc operated on 12/7.  Holy cow, him being out of work for a month was hard.  The worst was poor Mike.  Dealing with the pain, not being able to hold his baby and being bored to death sitting around was really hard on him.  But... our family pulled together and we had an amazing Christmas.  The only present I bought was a coloring book for Mike.  I recycled a gift of crayons from someone at work too.  He was thrilled.  We colored together last night and it was a blast!

Oliver got tons of toys, clothes, PJ's, books and best of all a duck bathtub.  He loves it!

Kelly and I tried to get some good Christmas pictures of the kids.  Ya, that didn't go well at all.  One of the babies was crying most of the time.  Hudson would be doing something crazy when the babies were being good.  It was a good effort and quite comical.

Hudson thought it was funny to pull Santa's pants down.

Beatles Rock Band with the family.  Thanks to Kelly our life and parties are never boring.

We also started a new family tradition to go see the lights on the 23rd.  Of course this year Oliver didn't do much (slept) but we went with Janet and Ray.  It was the best night in a very long time.  We absolutely LOVE them.  I can't wait for Grayson to play with Oliver!

I just don't think my baby can get any cuter.  I love him so much it hurts.  He makes my day and can cheer up anyone.  Mike can get him giggling so hard.  He is a good daddy!  Literally the best moment.


He loves walks with Grandpa.
He can barely move but smiles the entire time.



 





Terry and Shelly have such a good time with him and the other grandbabies.
