Ho Ho Ho!

Santa found us!  As soon as Jax woke up,  we went to see what Santa had dropped off.  He was so excited for his new toys!  We spent the day with family, just relaxing and catching up.  Over here at the MooMoo household, we sure have a lot to be thankful for.

And a little video for your enjoyment:

Christmas Eve 2013

Christmas was nothing short of magical this year.  The excitement surrounding Jackson's first Christmas was so special.  He just makes everything better!  This year, we celebrated with the Wonnacott's.  Each year, they have a fancy Christmas Eve party filled with dresses, delicious food, music, and family.  Being that I spend more days than I should admit to in sweats, an excuse to get all dolled up is pretty exciting!

I know I am biased, but I have the cutest boys!  And a shout out to Garrett for getting me this dress for Christmas and letting me open it early.  I am the luckiest!

Days leading up to Christmas

There is just something so magical about the Christmas season.  Its a time of year to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, to spend time with family, and to find opportunities to serve.  Even the snow is enjoyable the month of December (which is saying a lot for this AZ girl!)  We had a blast decorating our little house, attending parties, wrapping gifts, delivering treats to friends, and watching Christmas movies.  Why does this time of year always have to fly by?

Some early Christmas jammies, since someone is growing like a weed!

Just watching it snow

We had a couple days where we couldn't leave the house.  

This weather is for the birds!

He tried to pull this down a thousand times. 

 Luckily, he was never successful.  

Someone is turning into a little boy...

Christmas Sunday

And this pretty much sums up how Jackson dealt with the holidays.  Luckily, this little guys is such a trooper!  But all the late nights and missed naps sure took a toll on his sleeping.

Next up...Christmas Eve!

10 months

As of December 22nd, someone is 10 months old!  Each month seems to go by faster and faster.  10 facts about the cutest 10 month old:
1. He smiles at just about everyone and everything.
2. He crawls around as fast as he possibly can.
3. Jax is obsessed with stairs!
4. The drool that comes from this guys mouth is slightly unreal.
5. He has the most scrumptious legs of all time.
6. His favorite word has become mama, especially when he needs something.
7. Mr. MooMoo is starting to stand without holding on, and walks along everything.
8. Jax is ridiculously social and nosey.  Nothing gets past him.
9. He sleeps a solid 12 hours most nights.
10. Jax's favorite time of the day is when both mama and daddy are home.

We sure love you Mr. Moomoo, more everyday!  He is the perfect addition to our family, and I can't imagine my life without him.  Babies just don't come any better!  February 22nd, please take a long long time to come!

Thanksgiving

Time to play a little catch up!  This year we were able to spend Thanksgiving in AZ with my family.  Most of my family had not seen Jax for a few months, so I was pretty excited to show off his silly personality!  We arrived Tuesday night, and had a blast! Jax was truly in heaven playing with his cousins and being in the spotlight.  I was able to see my friends and their babies, and spend some much needed time catching up with my sisters!

 All of our babies!  

A night at Peter Piper with cousins

A beautiful Thanksgiving day!  It was perfect, except for the fact that Garrett sprained his ankle playing basketball.  

We finished our trip with a night out for some chicken and waffles and meeting Santa!  Lolo's chicken and waffles definitely lived up to its hype!  Mr. Moomoo loved the waffles.  And Jackson's first encounter with Santa turned out to be quite a pleasant experience.

The Moomoo's had a great deal to be thankful for this year.  Adding the cutest member of our family tops the list, but I could go on and on.  I have always loved thanksgiving, but this year was particularly amazing.  We had such a blast, and didn't want the week to ever end!

9 months

Do I really have a 9 month old?  Crazy how much faster the last 9 months have gone than the 9 months of pregnancy went!  Since I'm so late with this little update, I will keep it short and sweet.  Someone is becoming more and more of a toddler each day....  Enjoy the many faces of Mr. MooMoo!  We have lots of personality around here.  I love this silly boy and his scrunchy nose, crazy crawl, and sweet personality more than I can say.
