Sam's First Christmas

Each Christmas season I think back over the past Christmas seasons and think of favorite times, presents etc.... this Christmas I didn't spend much time thinking about previous years because I know this year is by far the best Christmas's ever! We are so blessed this year to have Sam!
Here are a few pictures (out of order - sorry) from our Christmas in Decatur and in Cincinnati. We are so lucky to all be together and to be happy and healthy this Christmas!!!

Santa has arrived!!!!

Sam and Grandpa Leonard

"What is she doing to me now!?!?"

The Thompsons!

(yes, I dressed Sam up in way too many layers just because he looked cute!)

Sam and Grandma Leonard

"My new Chair!!"

Sam, Great Grandma and Uncle Jason...."Thanks for my new high chair Uncle Jason!!!!!"

Sam, a little freaked out by his new jumper.....

Sam and Daddy bonding

Thats what I call a case of the wiggles....

Christmas baby face....

When's Santa coming???

Apparently Rudolph is one scarey reindeer

Today we went to the doctor for Sam's four month check up. He weighs a bit over 14lbs and is 28 inches long. Tall and skinny. Big surprise. His doctor suggested the baby bumbo. When she mentioned it I thought, No way he is big enough for that thing... once we got home, I brought it out and to my surprise......

LOVES IT!!!

Then, we tried Rudolph.

HATES IT!!!!!

Sam's First Thanksgiving

The most exciting news from Thanksgiving is that Sam got his first two teeth in! His two front teeth on the bottom to be exact. No picture yet....

Phil and I carrying on a tradition from my childhood with the wishbone...

In Decatur, we started a new Thanksgiving tradition...The Geneva Turkey Trott! After much trash talk, Eustace cleaned my clock, but the whole family had a blast. Let the training for next year begin.....
The loser, and the winner....

Post race with my cheering section.....

The whole family after everyone was finished! Even Lucy ran the whole way, and she did amazing!!!!!!

Sam with his Great Aunt Doris, who he loved rocking with.....

The boys watching football.....

note, Sam couldn't take his eyes off the TV for the picture because he is OBSESSED with television!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
