Our little Pierce was christened Jan 3rd at Cedar Springs Church - He did great! Smiled for everyone -Connor was at the front of the church with Brian and I and asked why they were giving Pierce a bath at church - too cute. It was an overwhelming blessing to have so much family and friends present to help us celebrate this special day in our son's life. Thank you all for loving us so much!
It has been so long since I have posted we have had a crazy few weeks- as I am sure everyone has with the holidays among us! First We celebrated Connor's 2nd Birthday. He had a small gathering of friends his age for a Kindermusik party - needless to say with several 2 year olds it was a little hectic! Connor had a great time though and has quickly associated birthdays mainly with the consumption of cake. My good friend rachel made his cake - Lightning McQueen -how appropriate for our CARS nut! Since his birthday any time he sees cake or sweets he simply states "I 2" like duh I am now old enough to have sweets as often as I please. This was the mindset going into his cousin Bradfords 1st birthday party the following week. His patience was limited once he saw the cake - and Bradford loved his first taste of cake. He is growing so fast and is just precious! Walking like a pro, doing great with table foods, and started to say a few words, now if I can only get him to prefer me to Brian... After 2 weeks of birthday craziness we helped my brother Brett celebrate his graduation from UT -Brett graduated the 12th of December with his Bachelors in Pyschology -We are SO Proud of you Brett!!! We had a great time at his celebration party before the graduation - then gracefully endured the graduation ceremony -did you know that UT still announces EVERYONEs name and has everyone cross the stage! nevertheless we were glad to be there for him. Amongst the birthdays, and graduation we have had countless Christmas parties - I think like 6 in 2 weeks, and Christmas fun with the kids. I have included some pictures of our playgroup christmas party and will work on scanning our Santa picture to upload - I was floored that both boys did awesome -smiling so big! As if this craziness was not enough I had surgery monday to have a place taken off my arm - no big deal and everything is fine, but I have been a little slow the last few days -not my usual pre christmas full speed! I think we are caught up, and ready for a relaxing few days of family and a focus on the real reason of this season. We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
