Merry Christmas!

It is hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone. It seemed like it would never get here. I was so excited for Kyle's first Christmas. I had the same excitement I felt when I was young. I know that he will not remember this Christmas but was so much fun to watch him try to open his presents and explore his new toys.

On Christmas Eve we celebrated with my parents, Uncle Todd and Aunt Heather. Kyle's favorite gift was a caterpillar that had a string to pull it with. He loved the string! (his drool covered shirt says Santa is my Homeboy! WURD!)

Dad got us some really cool free T-shirts! Brian and I can't wait to wear our BET shirts!!

Then we were off to the Krajniks for some more celebrating!

Our little angel!

The grandkids all got these cute PJ's with personalized butt flaps.

Kyle was up very late on Christmas Eve, we did not get home until after 10:00. Two hours past his bedtime. He went right to sleep but did not stay asleep. I think he was excited about Santa.

Christmas morning we were up at 7:00 and Kyle had gifts under the tree from Santa!
After opening our Santa gifts were were back on the road to my parents house to visit for a few minutes with Aunt Heather and Uncle Todd before they head back to NJ.

Then we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Kyle was tired from his busy morning so he took a nap right when he got there. While Kyle was napping we had breakfast and opened gifts. We also watched the dogs go nuts. Here is a picture of our dog under the tree trying to "play" with peanut. Cole loved to sit under the tree. He is a strange dog.

After his nap Kyle was ready to open more gifts.

After a busy afternoon we were all ready to take a nap. So we headed home hoping to get a nap in. Well some of us did not want to nap...

Kyle after taking a 15 minute nap was ready to go. He was too excited about all his new gifts.

After our very short nap time we went to GG's house for dinner.
During this busy day Brian was not feeling well and by the end of the night had a fever and was ready for bed. So we headed back home. Kyle went right to bed and thankfully staying asleep until 7:30a.m.

After breakfast Kyle wanted to play with all his new toys.


Now where am I going to put all these toys????? And Yes most of these toys make annoying sounds or sing annoying songs.

I could not put pictures of all of Kyle's Christmas outfits on here but he had 5 outfits on during the Christmas celebration.

We had a great Christmas and even though we were very busy we loved spending time with our families.

Merry Christmas!!!

No Carrots Please

Kyle has liked everything we have given him so far. I think we have found one thing that he does not like...carrots. We have tired to give him some one day and then wait a few days and tried again. Nope! I even sent it to Aunt Erica's and BB could not get him to eat any. It looked like he was wearing most of it :)
This past weekend he tried peas for the first time and he loved them. So I thought I would try mixing the two together and this is what happened.



In case you did not hear me say it 5 million times, I was feeding him peas and carrots. UG!


Anyways... how cute!

Sheild Your Eyes!

Warning the fashion in this post may hurt your eyes!!!!!!


Brian had an ugly sweater contest at his work party. He searched all over Goodwill for the perfect sweater. He thought he had found the winner....




He wore it to Arundel Seafood and complete strangers were staring and giving him props for actually wearing it out in public. We were sure he was going to win.

Results:
He was in the top 3 but did not win. I do not dare post the winner as it may permanently damage your sight.


I am sure he will be searching all year to find the perfect sweater for next year.

All I want for Christmas

Kyle went to see Santa Clause tonight. He was very friendly to the guy that worked Santa's workshop. He let him hold him while he was waiting his turn. When it was Kyle's turn, he sat on Santa's lap and looked right at him and started to play with his beard. Maybe he was pulling on it to see if it was real. Then it only took a few minutes to realize that this is a stranger and where are my mom and dad. And this is what happened next.....


I hope he got a chance to tell Santa what he wanted before he started to cry.

Busy Weekend

We had another busy weekend. On Friday Kyle had 4 shots. He was such a trooper, he hardly cried. Then we joined the Arundel Seafood group for some dinner.
On Saturday we went to Kyle's friend Abby Robert's 1st birthday party. It was a swimming party. Kyle did not go swimming his bathing suit from this summer is a little snug. I think he was really embarrassed of his rolls around the ladies.
Kyle and daddy enjoying some pizza.

Then we went shopping for some Christmas things and a winter coat for Kyle.
I am not sure if he can move his arms once he is in this coat. But he is warm!!!!

After shopping we had dinner at Nana and Poppy's house.

On Sunday Brian got up early to start making Famous Mikes Crab Soup. A few of our friends came over to watch some football and enjoy the soup. Famous Mikes name was on the line, but no need to worry Brian did a great job making the soup. It was delicious. It was the perfect thing on such a cold day!


The family getting ready to watch the Ravens win!!!!!!! YEAH!

Big Head

Kyle was in need of a new winter hat because his size 12 month hat was getting too small. I picked out a new hat at the store and then looked at the size.... 2T/4T. The doctor said his head was big at his last appointment, I guess she was right. I did not believe that the hat purchased would fit a child that wears size 2T. But when I picked Kyle up from Aunt Erica's today she and Aunt Barbie had decided that Kyle's head is bigger than his cousin Arley's head (he is 2).
The doctor, the hats size and the cousin comparison all confirm that my son's head is huge. I am sure it is due to his large brain. :)
Here are some pictures of Kyle's cute hat and huge head.




Thank goodness he did not have an extra large head when he was born!!
