Christmas 2010

Many, many pictures on this post. Christmas this year was great! The kids are at perfect ages for understanding and making it fun. I want to hold on to these years because I know soon enough the excitement and anxiousness will fade with their growing ages. I love Christmas and I hope to pass that on to my kids. For my own purpose I wanted to list the items that my kids received this year. Santa was very nice to them!

Our Main Christmas Tree

All the stockings were hung........

We did a little Christmas Eve at our house with my parents, Denise and Jake, Meredith, Nickand kids. We ordered out Thai Garden(my kids favorite) and played games and just chilled out together. It was a good night with great memories. We spent Christmas Day at home letting kids play and enjoy their loot! :))

Months 3 & 4

So I have been really bad at keeping up with our growing little Bear. Mack is nearing 5 months and I have no clue where the time has gone.... At his 4 month checkup, I was very curious to see how much he weighed. He has been growing like a weed and is an extremely fun and happy baby. He rolls over and is doing pretty good at sitting up. He's very strong and already has a mind of his own. Mack loves to be with me. (not to be vain) He recognizes strangers and knows when I am not near him! Can you blame him? Think about it. I carried him for 9 months and since the time of birth, I have never left him with anyone, not even his dad! He's gonna be a momma's boy for sure but I love that.

Mack loves to take baths. Once he hears the bath water running, he makes it known that he wants to get in. He gets so sleepy after his morning bath and its so cute. He also loves being constantly entertained by his older bro's and sis. They love to dance for him, hold him, make him laugh, read to him and anything else that older siblings do! We started him on baby food a couple weeks ago and he's not crazy about it. He certainly is not lacking any so we aren't sweating it! So @ his 4 month his weight: 17 lbs 12 oz & height: 26 inches. He's a very big boy. Thats a whopping 10lbs since birth in just a little over 4 months. I can't believe how much he has grown... We love our not so Little guy!!

The 3 of US

On November 7, 2010, we blessed and named Mack Bear. It was a great day and an awesome blessing from his father. I can honestly say after 4 different kids and 4 different baby blessings they have all been very special and unique! Ron has a way with words and a great way of expressing them in things like this. It was a great day. After the blessing and meeting was over, we came to our house and served brunch. We are so thankful for our sweet baby! He has made our family so much more than we ever could have imagined. He's added so much fun to our lives and Mason, Myles, and Maggie couldnt love him any more!!
