Christmas


Christmas was fantastic! We love this time of year. We've had storm after storm which creates a burning for snowmobiles! Maybe next year. This was Tavis' first Christmas and he of course made out like a bandit! Nathan received a rangefinder for his new hobbie of bow hunting and I got a nice video camera. Then of course there are the little things but we all got want we really wanted and that was Tavis. He has made Christmas so much fun this year! He Loves his new car seat and his sit toy mirror thing, he is always so happy and has brought so much joy to us! I think one of the funnest things this year was our 23 foot tall tree. It took 2100 lights well over 100 bulbs and tons of ribbon (I didn't have enough so I had to only wrap it around the trunk) and the largest size of a tree skirt we could find.


On the 27th we celebrated Carter's 2 year birthday which was bitter sweet. On the 29th was Tavis's 6 month landmark and we go for his check up on the 3rd of Jan. He gets 2 more shots and they will check his weight and height so we're excited to see how much he's grown. He is getting so big. Today, he ate in his high chair for the first time and did splendid! It is so fun watching him figure out how everything works with his hands and how they can make his toy sign for him. I loved to watch him watch himself in the mirror! It's so funny. He also loves loves the bath! I think sometimes he cries just so I will put him there because as soon as he hear's that water he smiles ear to ear. Well Have a happy New Year!
