December Joy

PICTURE OVERLOAD!

That really should be the title to this post. I am not a huge fan of writting stories with my post so I am cramming all of the month of December so far into one post. I did not realize how many pictures I have taken this month. Guess month fifteen is just that special. Not its just I love this time of the year and have tried to do alot of things with Liam to keep him happy and enjoy the holiday.
So these pictures are some time that we spent with Paul's parents at their house, in their backyard, temple lights and Nielson's ice cream shop. The ones with Liam in his jammies and with the christmas lights he is eating are just some cute shots I tried to take here at home that did not turn out how I wanted, but I must say I love the one where he is looking at himself in the mirror. The ones with Liam in his green boots is a rainy day and wanted to get some with him and his umbrella, went to auntie Dianna's for those but he was more interested in running! The ones with Liam in the grey and red shirt are at a christmas party for Paul's mom's side of the family. And the ones with Santa, the grinch, the snowman and the house of tons of lights, that was tonight. That house is a block away from us and is just awesome. We wanted to see it for like the tenth time and wanted pictures with santa. Liam did not like any of the characters, but seemed the most interested in the snowman. So there you have it our month so far. More in a few days for Christmas.

Thanksgiving

Liam's second Thanksgiving did not go quite as smoothly as his first, but I guess what do I expect when I have a very busy 14 month old. My Thanksgiving started the night before as I had to work until Thanksgiving morning until 7AM. Paul watched Liam in the mornnig then by 12:45Pm we were running around getting ready. By 2:15PM we were headed off too Grandma and Grandpa Harris'. Liam ran around and played with cousins and aunt's enjoying much of the food. We had a traditional turkey feast with many from my side of the family. By 5:15PM we were finishing up dessert and now heading off to the Dunn side of the family. We had feast number 2 at Paul's brothers house in Mesa. Me and Liam did not eat at this feast because we were still full from my side of the family, where as Paul had saved up for this dinner with his family. This is where Liam's day really started to get rough. Liam loved the huge backyard he got to run around in. But once it got dark and cold we brought him inside and he was so clingy and got quite a few bumps to the head, by falling and running into things. He always has a hard time when our day is too long. But I think overall he had a fun day, and of course it was wondeful too see both sides of the family.

Just for kicks

Halloween 2011

This was Liam's second Halloween, and let's just say last year was alot easier. Liam did not nap well that day and it really showed that night. Also our luittle boy is quite a runner and was very facinated with the road. But he did manage to walk next to us up to a few houses to get some candy. He was afraid to grab the candy out of the bowls, but finally at the last house grabbed a piece of candy out. Most of the time Paul or my sister carried him, since his little legs would certyainly get tired trying to keep up with all of us adults. Liam loved to wear his Lion costume when I first got it for him but when we put it on that night was not to happy. But once it was on he was alright again. Hopefully next year he will know a little bit more about what is going on with all this craziness that is halloween night.
