SANTA

This is a pic of Max at this time last year. He was only 2 months old. Max started to cry right after I took this picture.
We had the Ryan Christmas Party last night and Santa "surprised" all of us. He brought a bag of toys, one for each child. He was calling their names and Max really did not want to wait. We have been preping him with "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (his favorite movie) and "The Polar Express". When Santa called his name I let him run. He only made it 3 or 4 steps before he stopped to rethink about Santa. I helped him the rest of the way and, I just want to point out, he is totally propping his arm on Santa like they are old pals.

Max...And Santa have really changed in one year.

Another photo shoot

This is Max's Third photo shoot with McKenzie Deakins. Every 6 months she has offered a $35

1 hour session. I love her style.

Tree hunt

Winter has come

Crafty

I love wreaths like this. I went to hobby lobby and made this my self under $8. I wanted to hang it up as soon as I finished, but I seem to have lost my wreath hanger. I stayed up past midnight looking for it. The next day I came home and Curtis had it hanging. I love coming home to it.

I know I am way behind on my gratitude list. So here is the rest of it...

3. Baby gates

Max fell down my mom's stairs this week - I was more shaken than he was.

2. Music

I was with my family this week and it was so fun to gather around the piano and sing while my mom played some of our favorite songs.

1. Smiles

Nothing like the feeling you get when someone smiles.
