December Summary

     Oh December, in the begining you were stressful, your middle passed by me like a bullet train, and the end had distractions.  So there arent many pictures, and not a whole lot to write about, I'll try to do better this year. Speaking of this year, holy cow. I've been waiting for a while for this year to come, but now I'm starting to freak out a bit. My baby turns 2 in a few short months. My husband, who has worked his butt off to get 6 years of school done in 4, graduates with an MBA in June. Then sometime soon after that we'll move to who knows where, and begin a new chapter of our lives.
     I had this realization a few weeks ago, and so I tried to spend my time taking things easy, and spending time with my boys. James is still a little rascal, I swear I have to clean his face every five minutes. He has mastered jumping off of couches, and actually gets pretty good distance. Yikes. Knock on wood, no emergency room visits for him yet.
     He's adding new words every day, and asks us "What is that?", and tells me to "Let go!" of things he wants. He roars at people when we're in public, and I can't decide if he learned that from Daddy or his aunt Caroline. My favorite is when he wanders into our room at night, climbs into bed with us, and squeezes right into the middle whether there be room or not. Then he grabs my face in both hands, plants a big wet kiss, then turns over to sleep. He may be wild, but he's the sweetest wild child I've ever known.


And now for December...

James watching Backyardigans, his new favorite show. He calls it "Yeee! Haw!"

An art project I attempted with James, it didnt turn out the way I hoped but he couldnt stop looking at it :)

 When making a million cookies that I never ended up delivering, James decided to sneak the chocolate syrup out of the fridge and drink it all...

 It's times like this as a parent you can either choose to be mad or choose to laugh..

I laughed pretty hard.

 We drove down the Salt Lake one night, ate some In-N-Out on the way, and went to see the temple lights.

 Christmas Morning, James tried to trade his Santa present for his cousin Ivy's santa present..

 Once he opened everything though, he decided to keep his stuff.

His favorite present was probably his Dad's basketball hoop, he'd carry that thing around the house, looking for someone to hold it so he could shoot baskets.

 James all bundled up to play in the snow, crazy child. Thank goodness he had Aunts and Uncles willing to go outside with him, I only lasted 2 minutes at a time.

 After Matt and I came back from  a movie, we saw this scene through the window. Sweet huh?

Our Christmas break was great, spent with lots of family and food. It ended bitter sweet as I said goodbye to my younger brother Zac for the next two years. He's going on a mission to Riverside, California (yep where we grew up)  speaking spanish. I'm so proud of him, but I'll miss him a lot.

2011 is here now, and its full of exciting things for the Morrissey's.  Stay tuned.
