NO BITING THOMAS!!!! Biting his way to 11 Months!

What a wild month December was for our family! Thomas had many highlights as his parents were relentlessly trying to do it ALL for his holiday season with family pictures here, there, and everywhere!!! We had brunch with Santa, our church's stake music festival with a party afterwards, TONS of pictures around the Christmas tree, the usual family 'leaf picture' in the Botanic Gardens with 1 new member, Thomas' first passport and flight and making peek-a-boo friends, snow, snow, snow in Calgary, annoying (for Thomas) car rides with too many layers, witnessing a live nativity in the freezing cold and falling snow, 2 Christmas eves and 2 Christmas days, New Year's eve.... oh wait... we really didn't get one of those, and New Year's Day cleaning up the lawn and the garage. From below freezing to wearing short sleeves, it's been a fun month!!!

Ignoring all of the craziness, what a thrill it was been to teach our child of Christ's birth. We look forward to teaching him about his life and why we are so grateful for his life on earth and continual presense in our lives.














Thomas was not too sure about the old guy in red.

Thomas became a reindeer and didn't like it!



Our family at the Santa BrunchOH DEAR! Another Mr. Young behind the wheel of a BMW.
For a child that had never touched a wheel of car, he quickly caught on.
(not sure about that look on his face??)

Thomas' Great Great Uncle Jack made this wooden horse for him and he LOVES it!

We're a bit deep in the snow in Daddy's parents' backyard.
