Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas, and the celebration isn't over!

Cookie Playdate

This Christmas season is flying by! A few weeks ago, we had a Christmas cookie decorating playdate with our friends from church, and it was a HUGE success. Bryson was one of the youngest children there, and even he got in on the action. (and ate a TON of icing) Here's a few photos from the event; I hope this becomes an annual tradition.

Everyone signed up to bring different items, cookies, sprinkles, icing, etc- so it was much easier than decorating at home- and clean up is SO much easier when there's 10 hands on deck.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Family Photos

My friend Lauri took our Christmas photos again this year. I think they turned out really well. Here's some of our favorites. Bryson definitely doesn't look like a baby anymore!

Merry Christmas!

Lights!

Last night, we decided to take Bryson to Rhema to see the Christmas lights right after his 15 month shot appointment. Not the smartest move we've ever made, as he wasn't in the best of moods. Once we got the stroller out, he seemed to behave better. Anywho, here's a few of the pictures we took:

Bryson was in awe of all the lights, especially as we pushed him through the lighted tunnel that 'moves' to the Christmas music.

This Christmas season is already turning out to be one of our best yet- It's just so much more enjoyable now that Bryson has joined our family!

15 Months

Bryson is really enjoying the leaves and we are allowing him as much outside time as possible before winter hits!

• Bryson wears size 4 diapers and is moving up to 18-24 month clothing, although the pants are too long.
• Bryson says 'mama, dada, leia (yeia), yea, hello, done (du)' and signs 'more' and 'please'
• He LOVES dogs. I think his favorite word is Leia. They play together really well; he loves to pet and chase her.
• Bryson pretends like he is talking on the phone- he'll use our cell phones, remotes, toys, sock monkey, etc as a phone. He says 'hello', babbles a bit, then hands the phone to us. It's really cute.
• Bryson's ears have remained relatively clear for the past month!!

Bryson wore his Thanksgiving shirt to church today, and I wanted a photo on our way out the door. Bryson was actually interested in having his picture taken- for once- so I got some good shots!

My friend Kim made his turkey shirt. I love the way it turned out and he received SO many complements at church today. We're looking forward to a fun-filled Thanksgiving weekend!

Thankful

Bryson's been on the move so much lately, I haven't been able to get very many photos of him. But, I do want to write down some of the things I'm thankful for:
1. my family
2. my family's good health- Bryson's ears are finally clearing!
3. my business, my business partner and Brandon for helping to make it so successful!
4. my patients and their families- I truly love my job.
5. our friends
6. our church family/Sunday School class
7. Sonic and Starbucks :)
8. sleep!
