Merry Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year, Lincoln was old enough to open his presents and have some fun, but not so old that we had to spend a fortune :)

Christmas Eve we went to church and they had a How the Grinch Stole Christmas play, Lincoln loved the Grinch, everytime he went off stage Lincoln said "Where'd he go".

Christmas morning for Lincoln started a little rough, he was woke by the sounds of our fire alarm! We started a fire in the fireplace and it was so cold and windy out the smoke pushed back into the house instead of out, it was the weirdest thing (yes, the chute was open).

After that the fun started with teaching and watching Lincoln unwrap his presents. He loves tractors, and got 3, he was happy. He got lots of other things as well.





I cant believe this year is ending and soon Lincoln will be turning 2 (in April)! Time really does fly when you are having fun.

Finally, Christmas Eve with Santa!

We have made many attempts to get Lincolns picture made with Santa this year, the first two he wanted nothing to do with him, then the lines were ridiculous every time we tried, finally this morning I got the pic- crying or not! Lincoln did really good, he made a sad face, but didnt cry at all. It was much better than expected.

Clean, and not so clean!

So, Lincoln was wearing his Christmas jammies for the first time the other night so we got some shots in front of the tree (notice there are no ornaments at his level? big surprise!)



Then, last night we made brownies... at first he wouldnt taste it, but once he did, the pics say it all!

Hanging Out

So, I know the pic of me is awful, but Lincoln looks cute so I am posting it anyway :)

Construction

The neighborhood we live in is new and we are surrounded by empty lots. They started building a house directly across the street and Lincoln LOVES to watch them work. He stands on the chair in our office and watches out the window. He gets to see tractors and big trucks- he loves it!



On a more exciting note, today Lincoln went PP in the Potty for the first time! I'm so proud of my BIG boy, and also shocked at how fast he is growing. I dont expect he will be potty trained any time soon- but its a start.

Food

Last night we had spaghetti for dinner, these pics are from after I cleaned him up! What a mess.





These are pics from Lincoln today at lunch, that corn dog is frozen! He refused to let me heat it up... gag me. He didn't eat more than the top breading though so I guess he knew it was pretty gross. Still wouldn't give it back though. Good thing they are precooked!

Haircut #6 (I think)

Lincoln before...



And Lincoln after...


He always looks so different after a haircut!
