MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas, family and friends! I wanted to get this blog post up quickly so Alan could see the Christmas pics- we missed him today! Also I know Zade's aunt and uncle in Japan will enjoy, we missed them this year too. I have a few pictures from fun things this month that I will start with before getting to the Christmas joy!

Zade and I having a chill day with Secelia at Barnes and Noble. Best place ever to just hang out.

I attempted a hair cut this month! He looks like such a big boy!!

OK, let's get down to business. Christmas is , hands down, my favorite holiday. I love the season so much, and it was so fun this year getting everything ready. Having Zade around to enjoy the magic with all his awe and wonder only made it that much more amazing. I'm sorry for the bad lighting in a lot of the pictures, but I really enjoy unwrapping gifts by the light of the tree :)

Here Zade meets his new rocking horse- Legacy. He talks and sings and makes sound effects and is soft and adorable. It was love at first sight!

Zade's face while the horse sings.

First ride, giddy-up Zade!

A giant squishy ball.

Opening some puzzles- bugs and dinosaurs!

Zade opening the blocks I made for him. I'm happy to say that they have been a favorite today!

Zade got some Backyardigan's friends in his stocking.

Giving Pablo and Tyrone a squeeze!

So much fun!

We started a new holiday tradition this year- chocolate chip waffles for breakfast!

True to Zade form, however, he always goes for the fruit first :)

Then it was time to go to my parents' house...

Zade and Owen got a Lightning McQueen car!

Driving around. NBD.

Zade plays with his new zoo.

Owen shooting some hoops with Zade's new hoop! And Zade's exploring their new tunnels.

Happy holidays everyone! I hope everyone had a very merry day- Merry Christmas to all, and to all a GOOD NIGHT!
