Merry Christmas 2009

We loved spending the holidays with all of our loved ones. We feel thankful to have so many of our family members near to us, and cousins for Tag to grow up with. I hope your Christmas was splendid as well! Tag in his Christmas Eve Jams.

He was pretty stoked about wearing Elmo all over his body.

If he could, he'd probably cut off Elmo's skin and wear it to his birthday party:)

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,

Christmas Card 2009

Dang it, Tag, Smile!

I'm afraid we have completely passed over that stage where Tag will smile at anyone on cue. We've also passed that stage where pictures are fun and easy. These sure weren't simple like the old days, but after just a few tantrums, running full speed away from us, and some serious coercion, I think we got some great family pictures;) Thanks, Amanda!

I love this one. That little boy has my heart

in the palm of his little hand.

Tag's First REAL Haircut

I know I was doing an awesome job of cutting his hair without any beautician training, but we decided to treat Tag with a professional cut before family pictures. Lucky guy. We even took him to Cookie Cutters where he got to play in a little car and watch Elmo. $17 dollars later he was looking just spiffy....back to mom haircuts:)

Weird thing is I didn't even get an final picture of his do!? You'll have to look at our Christmas card pics.
