Hunter's 1st Christmas was an eventful one to say the least! We are fortunate to have both families here in AZ so it makes for a fun/hectic day (or week I should say)! We started Christmas eve at Mike's parents house, then we went to my parents and spent the night. We had breakfast, opened presents and then drove back to Mike's parents house for dinner and games, then we spent the night there and went home the next day.

Here is Mikey sporting the Jacket from Julia and Jeff. Fashionable as always!

If only that was a red popsicle on my mom's white carpet...(she probably wouldn't mind only because it's a grandkid) I Love you mom!

Mikey and Hunter sitting in one of the chairs from the table Santa brought them. It's adorable red, yellow and blue with a racetrack down the leg of the table and a net to hold cars. Plus both chairs are personalized for them! Mikey was so excited!

Caden is such a loving little boy. He loved to come and lay his head next to Hunter and just smile at him. Here Mikey and Caden are entertaining Hunter.

Our tradition in the Hunter household is to open one gift Christmas eve and it is always pajamas. This year my mom really outdid herself by getting all of the matching pj's. The boys looked ADORABLE though! (Even the older ones in their penguin pjs.)

Here is a picture of Hunter and his Aunt Missy on Christmas eve. He loved all of the ornaments and wrapping paper. Seriously, anyone who will have a little guy/girl next Christmas...just wrap tissue paper and they will love it! :)

Hide and Go Seek!

One day, right after Thanksgiving, I was setting up the Christmas decorations and Hunter was in a hilarious mood. He was being so playful that I couldn't help but get down on my hands and knees and play a little hide-and-seek with him. He thinks it is the funniest thing in the world when he comes around a corner and "finds" me. I, of course, think his huge dimpled grin is to die for...so it's a win-win.

Ridiculous

I had to start my update with the funniest video on earth. You know those people who make complete and utter fools of themselves trying to make a baby laugh? Well...just watch.

Yep. I was speechless too.

P.S. Happy Birthday Ju-Ju!

7 months already?!

Our little boy hit the 7 month mark today and although I know that 7 months isn't really significant as far as milestones go, I feel like I'm losing my little baby and I'm gaining a toddler. It is truly bittersweet. On one hand it is so, so, so fun to watch him grow and develop! He gets so much smarter everyday! The first time he recognized my voice without seeing my face melted my heart! On the other hand, I sometimes just want to lay on the couch and cuddle with him like I did when he was 2 weeks old. You know that cuddle where his head is settled perfectly in the nape of your neck and it seems to just fit like a puzzle piece? I miss that. It is so cliche but they really do grow up so fast. Anyway, enough of that! Happy 7 months my baby boy!

Thanksgiving 2008

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! We had such a packed day but it was a lot of fun! First, Mike had to work from 5am-10am, then drive home (1hr each way) to help me make the deviled eggs and set up the relish trays. Then we went to his parents house for dinner first. After dinner, we went shooting to relieve some of that holiday stress! :) After shooting we packed up and headed to my parents house where we ate again! There was a lot of company in town because of Julia's wedding so it was fun to catch up! After dinner we celebrated Jackson's 2nd birthday! It was a busy, busy weekend!
