Christmas

Here are a few more pics from Christmas.  We will pretend like it is not Feb. 1st when I am posting these :)  Wyatt still did not quite grasp the "present" concept.  He would start to open it, then get distracted by something else and forget all about it.  It took 2 days for him to finally open all his gifts.  He had no problems playing with them though!  It has been nice to have some new toys to play with while stuck inside during the yucky winter weather.   

Loving the baseball

He didnt care much about the presents, but he sure loved the candy!

What a wonderful and blessed Christmas we had this year!!  We are thankful for all our family and the wonderful gifts!

Christmas at the Zoo

Wyatt loved all the lights at Christmas at the zoo!  It was cold, but so beautiful with snow on the ground and falling while we were there. 

Bundled up and ready!

Admiring the pretty lights

 

More Lightroom editing

Santa

Once again, I have fallen behind on blogging.  I will try to get caught up from all of our Christmas activities...starting with our visit to Santa.  Wyatt was not a fan.  He cried as soon as I sat him on Santa's lap and turned to walk away. 

Don't worry, he did not let go of the candy cane no matter how loud he cried :)

Doing a little better over on Mom's lap, although I think Santa fell asleep!

Experimenting with some editing in Adobe Lightroom

Brrrrrr

In true Indiana style, December started off freezing festive with our first snow of the season.  There wasn't enough to do much playing in, but it did look pretty. Wyatt wanted to check it out so we bundled him up and went outside.   Last year Wyatt did not like the snow.  This year, he cried when we came inside :)

I have no idea how he is this happy when it is sooooo cold out!

Trying to make a break for it

Mommy teaching me to stomp the snow off my shoes.  I think she is crazy!

Shutterfly

Shutterfly has long been my favorite photo-sharing and printing site.  I have tried others, and find it to have the best picture quality (matte prints) for the price, fast shipping to your home (or pick-up at Target, Walgreens, or CVS), and they usually offer coupons that save big on shipping and products.  I also love their share sites (link on the right margin of blog to view our family's) for sharing photos with family and friends and having a safe place to store your photos (very important if your computer crashes I found out the hard way).  I also used Shutterfly for Wyatt's birth announcements and fell in love with their flat stationary cards, so I knew I wanted to order those for my Christmas cards.  However, the price was not really within our Christmas budget!   Then, I came across this promotion, http://blog.shutterfly.com/5358/holiday2010-blog-submission-form/ that Shutterfly is offering (I told you they were great!!).  Free cards??  Sign me up!  There are so many cute styles to choose from, it is difficult to decide which one is my favorite.  Here are a few of my top options that I have been working on...let me know what you think :)

Happy Gilmore

Wyatt has quite the golf swing.  Nothing is safe from being launched off his tee...if it appears somewhat round, it will be hit with the club.  We aren't sure whether to be impressed or scared.  Here is some video to see for yourself. 

Halloween

The Friday before Halloween, we visited Zoo Boo with Wyatt's friends Gavin and Dylan.  The boys had fun looking at the animals, playing in the hay maze, and of course getting candy!  Wyatt loves candy, especially smarties!  Of course, I forgot my camera and so these pics are courtesy of Mommy's friends Dawn and Katiri. 

Cow (Dylan)- 14 months, Shark (Wyatt) 15 months, Winnie the Pooh (Gavin)- 2 1/2 yrs

It is almost impossible to get a picture of 3 busy boys!  Luckily, they all loved sitting in the race car!

On Saturday, we headed down to Mooresville to meet up with friends for the Halloween Hike at the park.  It was really pushing Wyatt's bedtime by the time we got started so he was a little cranky, but still enjoyed some lollipops and trick-or-treating with his friends!

Mommy and her scary shark!

The only full body shot we got in the costume...and it's blurry...parent FAIL!

Happy Halloween!!
