Last Saturday we had a birthday party for Orion at Grandpa Bob's house and in true Becker fashion we had lots of food and lots of fun. It has taken me this long to sort through all the pictures we took!

Christmas morning

This is how Santa left the presents for Orion
Of course Orion found the buttons right away
"Wow....a lion!"
"I have to knock down the tower Daddy built"
"Hey Mommy....I am so excited"
"There are toys EVERYWHERE"
"I am ready for a ride in my new wagon"
"Is this book really called Everyone Poops?"

We had a magical Christmas morning with Orion. It was so much fun to have him open presents and see what his reactions were. We had a chance to play for a little bit and then all hopped in the van to visit Grandpa Bob. It was the best Christmas ever seeing it through Orion's eyes.

Happy early birthday to me....








Orion got his second early birthday present yesterday in the mail from Auntie Peggy. It took him about 5 minutes to finally open the package all by himself. We were very excited to see the John Deere hat and mittens because they are super cute and very warm. Orion even tried them on for a little while before he decided he had enough. Thank you Lister family!!!!
