Christmas Fun Continues

We continue the fun in the mountains. Maddie and I dragged our parents up the hill for some snowshoeing action. It was a blue sky day and fun to be out in the CO sunshine!

Maddie in heaven!

I worked hard to get up the hill on Dad's back!

Mom's turn.

Checking out the slopes. Maybe next year I'll play on the hill a little. Mom & Dad got a few runs in though which was a treat.

A little interest in walking on my own.

Walking with Gigi.

Warming up to the dance, dance Santa.

Cuddling with my pretty Gigi.

New Year's Eve Day - it's freeezzzzzing out there.

Cathy & Gary helped us ring in 2010. Thanks for playing with me!

Merry Christmas

The celebration continues. My birthday led right into Christmas. We opened some more generous gifts from the Martin family before traveling to Snowmass for the week. Thanks again everyone for the fun goodies. Snowmass was very fun although a tad chilly at times. 3 Labs helped warm things up though! It's always a treat to escape to some mountain snow.

Grandma & Grandpa gave me this fun chair. Dad pinning me down for a photo op.


I love my new music table. I could be mistaken for Schoeder.

Thanks Nana for the special rendition of The Night Before Christmas. Pop-ups are fun.

Need to fuel up before the unwrapping begins.

Santa left me this fun house that has all sorts of bells and whistles.

Checking out the cool spatula Santa left in Aunt Beth's stocking.

Now not just Maddie's tail gets pulled but so does Tuga's - thanks Tuga for being a good pal.

Papi was showing me how the jack in the box works that Santa left.

I eventually warmed up to this talking and dancing Elmo but I have to keep my distance. Thanks Gigi & Papi...."Elmo's World."

Playing with Gigi.

Birthday Round 2

To continue the celebration, we had some good friends over to help welcome the little man to age 1. Thanks for joining us everyone.

Here is the chocolate cake that never seemed to end.

Tommy's smash cake version.

Stuffing my mouth with pizza first - nothing like pizza and cake :)

Not sure what to think. Everyone is singing to me.

Gearing up...

A finger full of icing to test out the waters...

A few more fingers...

Oh yes, this is good stuff...

Might as well dig in

Pretty sure I've got it down now

Cake coma

Why are you taking it away

Still a bit sad but manage to share some fingers to my best friend

Pushing Finley in my new wagon

My turn for a ride...this is too fun and funny.

Birthday Round 1

Tommy turned 1 on December 17th. Hard to believe a year has gone by already and how much he has changed. It's been quite the journey and we've loved every second of it. We celebrated with his Gigi & Papi on his actual birthday. He enjoyed opening some fun new toys from various family members - all so generous. Thanks everyone for the great gifts!

Here I am riding my new fire truck my parents got for me.


First round with a cupcake.

With a little help from Mom.

Maddie is always so loyal.

We all made it one whole year - all body parts still in tact :)

I love my new mailbox from Grandma & Grandpa.

During Gigi & Papi's pre-Christmas weekend visit, we all toured the Botanic Garden Lights! I actually did this last year on the other side of Mom's belly.

This is such a fun ride :) I can push it too.

Finley Turns 1 & Meeting Old St. Nick

Happy Birthday Finley! Finley turned 1 on November 30th and we all celebrated her big day. Hard to believe she's already 13 months and becoming quite the little girl. So fun!


Here we are meeting Santa for the 2nd time. The first time was in NJ with cousin Charlie, and sure enough I wasn't the biggest fan the second time around either. Maybe when I'm 2 I'll warm up to the big fella.


My friends Finley & Claire doing just fine with Old Santa Claus.

I know he is there. Quit tormenting me.
