Holmes Family Christmas
















Christmas Eve was our turn to host the family Christmas for the Holmes clan. We had a great time and ate way too much food. Orion was on overload because he was showered with attention and presents! Xavier wasn't quite sure what to think about being handed off to everyone and at the end was content to just be by himself on the couch without anyone holding him.

The boys

They both have monster truck shirts on! Xavier is wearing the 12 month one that Orion wore just a few months ago!!! We are going to run out of clothes for our little Xavier to wear.
He loves the bath! Orion can't wait until he can sit up to take a bath with him.

I managed to get one with him smiling, lately he is camera shy.

Ugh...snow!

Brother Snuggle Time!
Orion put something on almost every step and then told us to come and look at the beautiful upstairs he was making for us. He is something else.
Daddy and Orion snuggling on the couch.

He finally made it over to the sidewalk and helped out.
The start of the 8 inches of snow we got last night. It's still coming down this morning.
Making a snow angel!
We had hot chocolate after playing outside last night. He loved it.

St. Nick

Orion was excited to see what St. Nick had put in his stocking!
He got "Busy as a Bee James" and he loves it.
Xavier was very excited too, he got a new rattle.
Holding the rattle all by himself.
This is what Christmas is all about.
Orion was running around so much it was hard for me to get pictures of him helping us.
The boys snuggling on the couch watching "Thomas".
Align CenterThey both have the same smile.....I think they are laughing at me!
Orion loves to give kisses to Xavier, wonder how long that will last?
"Hey Mommy, look at me"
"Hey Mommy, look at me too!"

Today



Orion woke up this morning and looked out the window on his way downstairs and said, "Mommy, look it is snowing". He was so excited to see snow on the ground that it almost made me not hate the snow.


Our sweet Xavier is 3 months old today. Wow, it's true that time really does fly by.
