merry christmas and happy scooping!

merry christmas!  hey pace, do the pj's max is wearing look familiar?  


yup--they are what you wore on your one year-old birthday!  can you believe how big max is?!
    

he's gaining on you, you know!  you better eat your spinach or he'll win every arm wrestle!



playing peek-a-boo with max on christmas morning.  max is one of the ticklish, giggliest, happiest babies around...as long as you stick with the program--do not deviate from feeding times or nap times, and we've got a happy camper!




this is where pace spent christmas morning--in a box, usurping max's presents.  he thought all of max's things were really cool.  he especially loved the peek-a-boo bear from great mom mom.


until daddy built the life-size excavator uncle jon erik sent!  then that's all we did the rest of the day--scoop snow!  mama and daddy spent the rest of the day using their favorite family gift:  the ice cream maker!  we made peppermint ice cream, toasted coconut cashew cheesecake ice cream with blueberry compote, and good old cookies and cream.  yum!




we got an even bigger snow storm the next day--it snowed all day long!  we had a good 8-12 inches in our backyard.  pace and i built a fort, scooped snow with the excavator, threw snow balls at each other, rolled around, ate snow, made snow angels, and played catch...phew!  happy scooping!
