Christmas 2011

We spent Christmas Eve with Matt's side of the family and Christmas day with mine. Elijah was still not sure about the whole thing, but he loved the wrapping paper and the toys he got. I think the wrapping paper might have even trumped the presents!

Dad's Birthday and Retirement

My dad turned 62 in November of last year. We celebrated by going to Claim Jumpers and having cake and presents at home. He also retired last year as well so it was a double celebration. Yay Dad!

First haircut 11/29/11

I have some catching up to do! Here's Elijah's first haircut. He did so well! He sat in Daddy's lap and hardly squirmed at all.  Such a handsome boy!

Snow!!!!

So one Saturday we spontaneously decided to drive up to the snow so Elijah could experience it for the first time.  We ended up in Nyack and did some sledding and enjoying the light snowfall.  Elijah loved it til his gloves got too wet and his nose too red ;) 

Sorry this is kinda bumpy but his expression at the end is priceless!

Pumpkin Patch

Elijah went to his first pumpkin patch and got his first pumpkin this year.  He wasn't quite sure about being put in the pumpkins but seemed to like it after a bit. 

Park Playgroup

We've joined a local playgroup so Elijah (and mom and dad) can meet some new people.  Here's some pics from our first get together.  Surprisingly he loved the swing and playing on the equipment with Matt and I. 

Bouncy Chair fun!

Elijah is starting to grow out of it now, but he had such a great time in his bouncy/activity chair.  He used to just bounce the hours away. He especially loved sucking on the sun toy and playing with the music buttons.

There were a couple times he was just too tuckered out to play anymore........
