Hayes Christmas 2013

LOVE

Snuggle time before bed... in our matching jammies!

Thayer is 3 months!

Little man is 3 months old. He is the sweetest babe. I of course couldn't capture his million watt smile in this photo shoot, but he has one. When awake he is a super happy boy. He is constantly smiling and chatting. He is starting to lose a little hair, but still has a decent amount of wispies. His eyes are still blue, but this was the age that Henry's started to change, so we will see how they end up. He started rolling over a few days ago. He doesn't do it every time, but he now rolls from tummy to back both ways. Big brother loves him to pieces. Sometimes a little too much, but always out of love. He is the perfect addition to our little family. We couldn't be happier.

O' Christmas Tree, O' Christmas Tree

Love his "silly face"

The Christmas tree experience was not quite how momma planned it. All H wanted was another candy cane (too many candy canes the previous 2 days) and my baby, T, who is never cranky... was super cranky. He just wanted to eat and get his diaper changed, not search for a Christmas tree. We tried for a few minutes and then T and I retreated to the car to eat, while H and Daddy picked a tree without us. T proceeded to smile at me the whole ride home... stinker ;).
The decorating was fun though. We put the tree up and placed lights during H's nap. He was SO excited when he woke up. As far as decorating goes, he only wanted to put ornaments on if it meant climbing the ladder and putting them up high. I can't blame him. Ladders are pretty fun.

Christmas Tree Lighting

All the boys and their mommas

I LOVE Christmas time! Can't get enough of all the decorations and general holiday cheer. This is our first Christmas in our new home and I was so delighted to discover our "little town" has its own Christmas tree lighting. Our whole family came back over. We had thanksgiving leftovers, filled thermos's with hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps, and walked downtown to the lighting and holiday festivies. Henry got to sit in a fire engine, have hot chocolate and candy canes, and visit with Santa. He asked for a big boy bike for Christmas. Lucky for him thats what he's getting =). I love that my son has the same excitement for holidays that I do.

Thanksgiving

What a cute pair!

Nana snuggles are the best

Making paper airplanes with Uncle Tyson

I am so thankful for my family. I have been truely blessed with a fabulous family. They are a little (ok... a lot) crazy and dysfunctional, but thats what makes them family =).

H & T

My Boys! Need I say more. Henry is just about the funniest little boy I know. Thayer is so happy all the time. These boys are such a joy. Now that we are out of the first 2 months with our newest family member, everyone is settling in nicely. What a great family!
