11 Months Old

It is hard to believe that in 1 month Jimmy is going to be a year old. Time has gone by so quickly. Jimmy is starting to get around more by rolling and scooting on his butt. If you look closely in the picture above you can see where a tooth is about to come through (his first). Hopefully he will have one tooth showing when we get his 1 year pictures taken.

Cinderella

Last night Shelby and I went to dinner with Carlie and her mom so the girls could see Cinderella. Here is Shelby sitting on Cinerella's lap. The Big Boy in Howell does these character dinners once a month for kids. Next month... Dora

Helper

Yesterday morning Jim and I didn't get out of bed right away when Jimmy started to wake up. He was in his crib just talking away so we left him alone. The next thing we heard was Shelby in his room talking to him. When I got up to check on them this is what I found.
I was waiting for the day she would climb into his crib with him.

Outfit

Here is Shelby in an outfit that Grandma Wilson bought her over Christmas. It is so hard to believe that she is going to be 4 in 5 weeks.

Sweaters

Here are Shelby and Jimmy in the sweaters Aunt Susan, Uncle Johnnie and Madison got them for Christmas. It was wear Orange to school and both sweaters have orange in them. If they didn't then we were going to wear something from Halloween.

Let it Snow

We had a lot of snow fall on New Year's Eve. Here is Shelby getting ready to go and play outside with Daddy

Fun in the snow

Here is a picture of Jimmy and I watching from the warm house and all the snow we got

Christmas Day

Wow, Santa brought a lot of stuff. You can't see past the princess castle, but there are a ton of gifts from friends and family for the kids besides what Santa brought them.

A tradition when I was growing up was my mom taking a picture of my brother and I either walking down the stairs when we lived in Ann Arbor or walking down the hallway in our house in Pinckney before we saw the Christmas tree. I am hoping to keep this tradition with my kids.
Shelby loved her princess castle that Santa brought
Jimmy got this Leap Frog table, which will hopefully help him to pull himself up and stand
The hockey shirt from Uncle Johnnie, Aunt Susan and Madison. Jimmy is trying to eat the hockey puck he got. Thank you Bernal's for ALL the gifts for Shelby and Jimmy.

Before Christmas and Christmas Eve

We had a very busy weekend before Christmas and Christmas day. Below is a picture of all the kids on Jim's side taken on Saturday at Aunt Cheri and Uncle Hal's.
Then on Sunday, we had Miss Erica and Miss Ashley (former teachers at daycare) over to exchange gifts with them. Christmas Eve tradition of going to Aunt Charlene's and Uncle Art's, which is always fun for everyone.
Jimmy liked opening gifts but lost interest fast and just wanted to play with the paper.
