First Steps

Just wanted to share some video of Maddox when he started walking two months ago. Hope you enjoy.

Jaxx's First Birthday!

The 27th of December was Jaxx's first Birthday!! Since it was only a few days after Christmas, we celebrated it with the whole family there and some of Enoch's friends. We ate a nice dinner and Rachael and Lyndsay finished icing the cupcakes. We then put Jaxx in a high chair and sang him Happy Birthday and gave him his very own cupcake. Jaxx has a big sweet tooth. At first he didn't know what to do with the cupcake, but as soon as his parents showed him that he could eat it, he tore into it and made quite a mess. It was so cute. After the clean up we went into the front room and watched Jaxx open up his presents. He got some more toys and clothes. He was more interested in the tissue paper, than the contents that were underneath them. Man is he cute. I can tell you right now when Jaxx and Maddox are together it is pure mischief.
Later that evening Maddox and Jaxx took a bath. They had a ball playing together in the tub. I included pictures. It is soooooo cute!

**Christmas**

Christmas was great!! We had the opportunity to spend it with my family this year. Rachael, Maddox, and I drove up on Monday. Paul, unfortunately, had to work and met us up there on Christmas Eve. It was nice and relaxing. Christmas day we woke up and we all went straight to the front room to open presents. (I've noticed since all of us are older now, my dad is the one waking us up instead of us children waking my parents up.) After the opening of the presents we ate breakfast and got ready for the day. After getting ready Rachael and I helped my mom finish Christmas dinner. Later that evening we all sat down to eat the beautiful meal. Man was it good!!! A little while after we ate we all loaded up in the vehicles to go to the movie theater for our traditional Christmas Day movie. This year we saw 4 Christmases. We originally wanted to see Bedtime Stories, but it was sold out. I didn't like the movie, but was happy with the time we got to spend together. It was nice to have the whole family there for Christmas.
