Not too bad...

Not too good!

In front of our tree...

Wiley has a sweet little fake smile and Van won't look at me...

I'm thinking a good picture isn't meant to be...

Too funny!

I'm still trying to catch up!:)

We had a wonderful christmas! Lots of family, friends, and fun. The boys had a Christmas program at the daycare and it was really cute. Each class gets up and sings a couple of songs and then they get to go and sit with their parents. Wiley and Van both were excited about singing in the program this year. Van's class went first and he did great! He was a little wiggly at the end, but he made a pretty cute little reindeer.

My sweet little reindeer!

Happy little reindeer!

The beginning of the end...

The escaping reindeer!

So over the singing!

Ended on a good note!

Wiley was very excited about his part of the program. He practiced and practiced his songs. His class was singing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and Jingle Bells and he knew all the words. Unfortunately, he saw me trying to take pictures and the stage fright..frankenstein arms...momma crying began. Let's just say that I'm expecting a role on broadway anytime soon!

All he kept saying was, "momma, momma!" So sad.

My poor baby!

Frankenstein arms!

He cried like this for the entire two songs!

Van's 1st Birthday!

Ok...So I am way behind with my posting! I'm going to blame it on my computer...but I got a new one for Christmas so I am going to try and get caught up...here goes!

My tiny baby turned 1 on November 18th! Crazy...his first year flew by me. He is such a fun, smiley, happy, busy, mobile, ornery, crazy biting boy! He loves his mommy, daddy and big brother. He still doesn't like to nap or drink very much milk. He has THE BEST little smirk that he thinks is a smile. Oh, and he is tiny...I mean TINY...like 15th percentile tiny! However, he doesn't know that he is tiny because he still tries to do everything that Wiley does! I might bet on Van in a wrestling match between the two of them because he has a pretty big ornery streak. He pretends to not understand what "no" means.

We had a great soccer party for him. This little guy loves the soccer ball! We were so blessed to have our family celebrate his big day with us. He had a great time opening presents, which gave him great practice for Christmas!
