We survived the holidays and have so much to be thankful for - new toys, clothes, gidgets and gadgets, good food, good times, and extra pounds. Luckily the weather cooperated and we were able to see many of our friends and family over the past few weeks. Thatcher enjoyed the lights and sounds and tastes of the season and made our Christmas a very special one. Everything about the holidays is so magical to a little one - even before they know the meaning of the season.
Family pictures are few and far between but we managed to get a quick snap shot on Christmas Eve before the festivities got too crazy. 
Thatcher figured out the presents on Christmas morning and had a wonderful time shaking, ripping paper, tasting and eventually finding the insides of the things he was opening. Not surprisingly, he had a great time throwing around his new socks with his daddy.
From Thatcher as he helps with this post: "sa jnj, zrdsrxfjmkl,m33d"We look forward to everything that 2011 has in store for us - may it be as wondeful as 2010. For now we are going to enjoy all that we have and look forward to our next big event, Thatcher's first birthday! We'd like to think that he is showing us he's turning one in the picture above, but he hasn't quite gotten that down yet. We're working on it and hope to have it perfected soon.
Best wishes for a year of good health, happiness and adventure!
