A Very Merry Christmas Part II

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year. We celebrated with both families who were incredibly generous to the boys. They are so lucky to have so many people who love them. So far they are enjoying all of their toys which is fun to watch. We are also thrilled to announce that Weston decided to start walking the week of Christmas. Even though most of you have seen him live, we will have a video up soon. Thanks to all of our family members - we loved the time we spent together.

A Very Merry Christmas Part I

A Funky Russell Christmas

 

Cookies!

One of my favorite things to do at Christmas is bake LOTS of cookies. And now it's even more fun because Luke can help! He loves to bake with me, especially where there are sprinkles involved!

Breakfast with Santa!

Luke's Christmas Program

I Love Drawers!

Thanksgiving Trip

We trekked across the midwest to visit Goey and Nana and Poppa for Thanksgiving. The boys did great on the long trip - Mommy didn't have to crawl into the back seat one time! And we had so much fun at each stop...

Luke and Goey made a special picnic lunch that we enjoyed in front of the fire.

Weston and Lily got along great!

Best Jello ever!!!

Tractor Time

Daddy used to love riding his Grandpa's tractor, and it looks like Luke is having just as much fun as Daddy used to.

Getting Luke started early...

Luke or Weston?

Throw it Back Weston

And yes, that is a Taco John's cup...

Luke and Alex

Nancy just posted this picture from Halloween and I just had to share it. What a couple of cute kids!

Bye Bye Daddy!

It's so cute to watch the boys say goodbye to Daddy every morning. We've started leaving the front door open so they can watch him drive away. Unfortunatley Weston is suffering from a bit of separation anxiety so there is usually a few tears but eventually he closes the door and heads off to play!

Go Bears!

Weston had a pretty good view of the Bears dominating performance tonight. Da Bears are on a roll...

Weston's 15 Month Appointment

Okay, I'm WAY behind on this since Weston is now 16 months, but I want to post his 15 month stats... No surprise, his percentages remained basically the same: 24 lbs 4 oz (45%) and 32.5" (86%). He is ridiculously consistent! And my goodness has this boy developed a temper. Remember the sweet, quiet baby? No more!!! We are starting to see some serious tantrums that typically rear their ugly heads around the 18 month mark. I certainly remember when Luke hit this age! But, of course, Weston is still SO sweet, but he will let know when he's not happy!

Hope You're Hungry!
