Scary Santa

We really didn’t think Zachy would be a Santa-lap-crier.  It really isn’t his personality.  But he was really, really tired when we went to see him.  Hopefully next year will be tear free!He was so tired he fell asleep in the car on the way home…  With a lollipop in his mouth…  We sure are getting a lot of lollipop pictures lately… Our Christmas card!  The pictures were taken in the fruit orchard.  And our holiday letter, or more precisely, holiday quiz.

Portrait time

Yes, we needed a lollipop so he would sit still.  He kept wanting to stand up and run towards the camera!We did get some nice pictures though.

Oh Christmas tree

This had to be the first Christmas decoration out.  It occupies the kids for hours arranging and rearranging the little lights. Zachy loved putting the pegs in the holes.All finished with a rainbow theme.  And in matching jammas!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had Thanksgiving dinner at Walt & Terry’s house.  As usual, there was too much food…  We had pineapple casserole, twice baked potato casserole, turkey, stuffing, sweet potato hash, and pumpkin tart for dessert.

Zachy liked the turkey bones the best!    

Zachy was a big helper to Terry and helped clear the table and load the dishwasher.

Swim lessons

The YMCA offers parent-tot swim lessons, so we signed up for a session. Zachy loves every single day he gets to go in the pool. His favorite part was climbing out and jumping in, and playing with the balls. His teacher, Miss Sherri, had an Elmo swim doll.  Zachy looked forward to seeing him every week. We aren’t going to sign up for another session yet, but we will go to open swim at the YMCA regularly with Elena.

A toothy smile

Zachy is up to 8 teeth now! And he loves showing them off. They are great for eating crackers. Hey you!
