“Christmas” Morning

Last Saturday we had our Christmas.  Opened presents in the morning and then had a big breakfast and went to our friend’s house for game time and dinner.  Here are some pictures of Zachary opening presents.

Christmas Activities

IMG_0419

Santa came to Zach’s day care last week.  I went down for the Christmas party and to watch him with Santa.

He was the only one in his class who wasn’t scared, he was more confused why he was sitting on this weird person’s lap with a half dozen people staring at him.

Relaxing at home with daddy for a weeknight.

We had an evening out with Mr. Brent last week where we went to dinner and then of course to Lovin’ Spoons since we were so close.

The first gift Zachary opened was from Brent before we left for dinner.

He did well but Brent decided to wrap the present eight times around with the wrapping paper (not exaggerating) so it took a while.

Thankfully he liked his toy and actually played with it for a while.

Relaxing Weekend

IMG_1739

This pretty much sums up our day.  Sitting by the fireplace watching football, puzzles and video games.  Zachary came down with RSV this week so Thursday and Friday we were home with him and tried to take it easy this weekend. 

IMG_1738

Hard to get him to take his eyes off the fire, he loves watching it.  The only good thing about the RSV was it got us to the doctor and an ear infection was noticed and treated.  Still not cleared to fly but we are hoping this week will be healing time and he’ll be ready the next week.

Holiday Hog Roast and a Crawling Baby

This weekend was the annual Holiday Hog Roast at our friend’s Steve and Kerri’s house.  There are many activities and it is an all day event with multiple large screen playing the championship games throughout the day.  it is mostly people from the mill who come which is nice to get to meet people’s families and spouses and see people outside of the work environment.

Here is Zachary getting a bottle with Allison.

Watching football on the projection screen.  You can see me standing by Brent watching football on the left and Allison on the right is feeding Z.

The famous Bouncy House obstacle course.  I was undefeated in races yesterday, one time it pays to be a little shorter.

IMG_0341

The fire pit, outdoor kitchen and if you open larger you’ll be able to see the cinderblock square covered with cardboard.  That is where the hog is being roasted.

Corn hole tournament.

Mmmmmmm  a pig cut open and about 100 chicken quarters.

Austin eyeing the meat ready to lead the line.

Steve and Austin enjoying the party with the tree house in the background.  Thankfully I was able to distract Piper whenever she asked me to go up there with her this year.

Once the sun started going down we tried out some of the clothes we bought for the trip to Oregon on Zachary.  Adorable!

IMG_0357

Piper and me, she’s showing off her new look without a front tooth.

Napping in Allison’s arms.

IMG_0352

She’s all about the little man which is great so we can both eat without him trying to grab our plates for once =). 

IMG_0368

Brent and Austin trying to annoy me by making odd faces in the picture.  They didn’t even talk but both just did this…as usual.

IMG_0358

And the cutest baby in the world all tucked in for bed while we watched football and sat around the camp fire. 

Here are a couple pictures of Zachary in his holiday sweater before we left and then a video of him.

IMG_1733

He had to wear red to support Georgia in the SEC championship game.  Unfortunately they did not win. 

IMG_1731

The video of Zach somewhat crawling to get his toy. It won’t be long before he’ll be all over the house. We purchased this padded floor for ~$20 after he smacked his head on the wood. Poor kid.
