Bathtime Beauty
Mya is always happy in the tub and the boys like it when I comb her hair funny. I couldn't resist capturing these smiles and Ben was sweet enough to go and get the camera.
Christmas!!, Finally.
We had a wonderful Christmas. Christmas Eve we went to Matt's sister's house. We had a great time opening gifts, eating turkey, and the boys enjoyed their hot tub. We also went to Christmas Eve service at our church and some of us got to enjoy hearing and singing about their real reason to celebrate. (I say some of us because about 5 min into the service Mya peed all over the front of me and so I spent the rest of the service sitting soaked in the nursery).
We had a nice quiet Christmas morning at home. I didn't take too many pictures, I was busy enjoying my family. Here are a few I did catch.
Mya was not into the gift opening at all. We tried to entice her with the paper, ribbon, toys, nothing worked. She did however get excited over this piece of plastic.
Titan "opening" his stocking.
Ben and Jon, sporting their new Ironman and Storm Trooper helmets. A great addition to their dress up trunk.
Christmas with the Myers
It had been a running joke leading up to Christmas that my parents were going to buy the boys rocks for Christmas. My parents often heard, "Bubba/Nanna, what did you get me for Christmas?". Their response, "ROCKS!"
Before the boys opened any of their gifts, they got their first "special" gift, rocks!
Mya, reluctantly trying on her new mitts.
It was so special to have my sister here, even if it was only for a week. She had not been home for Christmas in 3 years, it was about time.
Mya's First Birthday!
Hard to believe this was almost a month ago! I still wanted to make sure I put up the pictures. Unfortunately I didn't get a great photo of Mya on her special day but go some great pics during her party.
My
a was so tired after eating her cake and having a bath that we didn't open her presents until that evening.
She loves the play table we got her and even pretends to talk on the phone.
Enjoying the Cake
At first, Mya was unsure about eating her cake. I gave her a little taste on my finger and that was enough to get her over the dislike of the feel.
Good to the last lick!
