We had an amazing holiday season this year. Our friends and family were very generous to us, especially the boys!! THANK YOU!! Zach really enjoyed playing with the wrapping paper and this is the second year Alex really knew what was going on. Can't wait for next year when both boys will really enjoy and understand Christmas! This was the debut year for Buddy the elf. It worked really well the first week or two - Alex had never behaved so well but it quickly lost its momentum after the first two weeks. I'll have to try and get more creative next year to keep the excitement (and good behavior) alive for longer.
Cute Zach - always all smiles!
He is really good at standing and cruising. We are getting closer and closer to walking! These past couple days he has taken a little step for both Maggie and Pete, I'm anxious to see it happen!
This was the height of my creativity with Buddy. Like I said I will need to step up my game next year.
Alex and mommy selfie!
Daddy and his boys!
We went to Charlotte for a couple days before Christmas to see the Nunez, my parents, and my Grandma and Jeff. It was a crazy time but filled with a lot of fun family fun!
Cousin love. Zach wasn't quite sure what to do with it!
Alex getting in on the cousin time.

We got a Vitamix for Christmas and I think Zach has enjoyed the smoothies the most. He drinks a full sippy cup each day, and sometimes even two sippy cups if we will let him. Little does he know I stuff it full with vegetables and fruits that I probably couldn't get him to eat normally!
The boys new Bear hats!
Zach and Spencer telling each other what they got from Santa.
