Children's Museum

Daddy went ahead and took the week after Christmas off as well, so we got to have a family day down at the museum.  They had a Bob the Builder exhibit, dress-up, a farm, and water to play with for a good time!

There it is!  Let's go!

Hi, Bob!

Check out the big brain on Gavin

Love the water table!

 

Yay, family outing!

2-Year Well-Baby

Had my well-baby check-up with Dr. Frank today.  He noticed how I'm talking up a storm, well beyond a 2-year-old, especially a 2-year-old boy (apparently us males don't usually talk as early).  Not too much to add except I'm happy, I'm healthy, and I'm loving my life!

• Height: 33 inches (20%)
• Head: 18 inches (5%)
• Weight: 22 pounds (< 5%)

Does this look like an 18 inch head to you?

 

I'm a giant!

Up to Christmas Eve

After my birthday party, the rest of Mommy's family started showing up the days before Christmas.  We enjoyed the time going to the park, playing with new toys, and having a great time together.

 

 

We've started a new tradition to open our family gifts on Christmas Eve night so that Christmas morning is finding out whether we get a present from Santa (or mud), and then the rest of Christmas day is my birthday!

When oh when can we open our presents?

Who's at the door?  And how many people does it take to open the door?!

It's Crystal A-Yi (Xiao-Jiu, and Kirby!)

The best part of the holidays is being together

Party Animals

My birthday party was at The Ark.  It's an awesome area to run, play, and have a great time with my friends and family.

Lucky to have all four grandparents in attendance

Two candles!  Cool!

Santa Drops In

Mommy took us to the mall to see Santa specifically so that we could take a picture in our UH clothes -- go, Coogs! -- to support Daddy and his Cougar-fever. 

Who's house? Coogs house!

 

So, are we as tall as the baby polar bear?

The next day, we headed out to Frisco to see their winter festival where Santa decided to drop in on us ... really! 

It's cold out here!

 

What's that in the sky?

 

Well, it's no sled and reindeer, but it's definitely Santa!

 

Yo, ho with Chloe

Dreamworks @ Gaylord

Right after Thanksgiving, we jumped right into the Christmas season with a visit to the Gaylord Texan to do the DreamWorks Experience.  In addition to the Ice! exhibit, we got to have brunch with Shrek, Fiona, and Puss, decorate a whole gingerbread family, and Claire even got to watch the Puss in Boots movie with Daddy during my naptime.

Now THIS is a cookie. 

You know the saying "it's bigger than your head?" ... yeah, baby!

 

 The holidays are here!

So many options!  So many things to do!

 



Ready to go see some Ice!

 

Merry Christmas (brrrr!) 

 We earned our Shrek ears!

 

The Davises joined us post-Ice! for some lunch and Santa visit

 

Check out that gingerbread family!

 

Wassup Puss?

 

Claire said this was close enough ...

any closer and she'll be diving under the table

Lots of pictures here, and there's a LOT more from this "staycation" in our November album.  If for no other reason to see the entire album, the pics from the Gaylord are worth checking out.

Thanksgiving

Mommy's side of the family came to Dallas for Thanksgiving, and we celebrated together with a yummy Luby's feast.

 Let me in on the action!
