Belated Merry Christmas

I'm sorry for the late post we have been busy getting ready for the holiday and then enjoying family, friends and food.  We hosted Christmas at our house this year and it was wonderful.  Sean enjoyed opening his presents,even though the 3 days before Christmas I had to retape a few gifts and almost hide them all, but his favorite present has been his books.  Grandma Barb stayed for a few extra days to watch Sean and all they've done for the past two days is read book after book.  We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a safe New Year!

Rock on kiddo!

 Don't you dare open that present!

 I said no little mister!

Okay now we can open presents.  Start with the biggest one first!

 What do you mean I'm not supposed to stand on the table?  Great gift Gma and Gpa Jung!

 Kyle and Valena's dog Dally waiting for a present.

 Look what Santa hid behind the curtain...Sean's first bike!

 There's Dally's present.  Great giraffe chew toy that lasted only a few minutes.

 Mother/Son cuddle time, great end to Christmas day!

Reading time with Grandma.

  He can sing his ABC's!  Well sort of.

Ready, Set, Go

This weekend we were busy little bees and Sean was a big help. (please don't judge us on our parenting skills with all the electrical cords and dangerous tools you see in the back ground).

Helping dad build some presents in the garage.

Helping mom put some finishing touches on the presents. 

Playing with "new" toys that were hiding in the back of the cabinet.  Notice all of the actual toys in the background that are still nicely put away?!?

One little monkey jumping on the bed.  Almost fell off and bumped his head.

Dancing the night away.

Low Key

 I don't have much to report on as this weekend was pretty low key and Sean wasn't cooperative in letting me capture the funny moments.  Ethan worked on some projects in the garage and helped our friends Mason and Nicole move.  I got to have a few hours to myself and go antiquing (my most favorite form of relaxation) and Sean was busy as ever.  One exciting item of the weekend was that we got to meet the newest edition to our friends the Brauns.  Emily Reese is as beautiful as can be.  You truly forget how tiny they are and how much they change over a year.  

One funny moment captured was Sean trying to figure out how to use my headband.  He had seen me put it on my head and he was trying to figure out how to get it to stay on his.  He ended up just putting it on there and tilting his head back so it would stay.

Christmas Stroll

I forgot to mention in the last post that we also took Sean to his first ever Bozeman Christmas Stroll.  We got to see Santa ride through town and turn on the lights, take in the festive atmosphere and get our 2011 ornament.  We then went out to dinner with our friends Mason, Nicole, Jon and Michelle to celebrate Michelle's 30th birthday.  It was a great evening spent with great people.

Catch up

This week we continued to try and recover from the flu, luckily Sean hasn't gotten it yet.  This weekend we tried to catch up on everything we meant to do last weekend.  Shopping, decorations inside and outside of the house, tree up and decorated and a few Christmas presents made. Maybe next weekend we'll get all caught up.

Sean wasn't sure what to think if the tree but he loves all the ornaments.
Needless to say the tree it a little top heavy.

Sean played in the snow while Ethan and I put up the lights.
We need to get him some winter gear because he loved it.

Sean's favorite toys have become any kitchen utensils or things with cords.  Not sure why he was using it to scratch his head?

I'm sure one day Sean will beat Indiana at this game.
