Tyler's Thanksgiving pictures through the years...

We were so happy to have some nice weather the week after Christmas, so we could go outside!  I remembered that when Brady was a few days old last year, we were able to take him on his first walk.  It's amazing how much both boys have changed in a year!  :-)

Christmas

We had a great Christmas!  Last year was the first time we stayed home on Christmas Day, but since Brady was only three days old, it was a bit of a blur.  :-)  This year, we all slept in and went downstairs so Tyler and Brady could open their gifts from Santa and from Dan and I (I accidentally forgot to ask Santa for a gift for Brady - oops!  So Tyler and Brady shared a gift and Santa was kind enough to send Brady his own gift a few days later...)  ;-)  

My parents and my brother, Steven, came over midday.  We were so excited to see Steven for the first time since May!  The boys loved opening all of their gifts and spending time with their Gag, Pap, and "super cool" Uncle Steven.  :-)

Because of the nice weather, we played on the deck and took a walk to the volleyball court.  Brady practiced walking while wearing shoes for the first time - so cute!  :-)

Christmas Eve

Our crazy week continued on Christmas Eve, when poor Dan had such a bad cough that he needed to go to Urgent Care.  After waiting for 2.5 hours, he came back home to us & Tyler had a get well card waiting for him.  We were supposed to be at Dan's mom's house at 11 but we arrived at 3. Tyler had so much fun playing with his cousin, Liam.  Dan's mom made a delicious meal and we all loved our gifts.  Brady thankfully slept all the way home and we took Tyler to the "crazy house" in our neighborhood, which has more Christmas decorations than we've ever seen!  There were at least 20 other cars driving by to see the house when we were there.  :-)  Tyler left cookies and milk out for Santa and went to sleep excited to wake up on Christmas!
