Christmas 2014

Anders' first Christmas has come and gone and I must say as a rookie, he totally nailed it. Woke up super early, ripped open the wrapping paper, laughed with glee at his presents, dutifully performed all his circus tricks for family over FaceTime, double fisted his waffle, etc. We'll definitely keep him around for next Christmas. We were fortunate this year that Adam was able to hang out with us pretty much all day. He has been working nights at Harborview this week but has been able to get between five and nine (NINE!) hours of sleep most nights. Thanks to the children of Seattle for staying safe on Christmas Eve.


Adam picked out these Christmas jammies and I was a little skeptical. 
Needless to say, I have no regrets.

It was a very low key Christmas but I loved spending it with my little family.

Halloween Outtakes

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone and we're all getting into the Christmas spirit, it's probably about time to post some Halloween pictures. Adam and I decided to forgo dressing up this year and channel all of our energy into making the perfect costume for Anders. Adam spent about 4-5 hours making a top hat (out of cardboard and some awesome velour fabric pants I found at the thrift store) fitted precisely to Anders' head measurement. Of course, Anders wouldn't leave it on long enough for a picture, let alone for our neighbors to see him in it. That's babies for you.
