Day One Hundred and Eighty Seven
Holiday preparations and celebrations have distracted me from taking pictures the past couple days. To make up here are 4 from Christmas morning.
The first is 2 out of 3 of the boys awake at 8am on Christmas morning. They opened presents as snow fell outside.
Max slept a good part of the day. He slept through all the noise of the guys rearranging the family room and setting up the new TV. We thought it was neat how his hands were positioned in this picture. They stayed that way for almost about 30 minutes.
Then he repositioned. This reminded me of a flower turning towards the sun.
Here is the view from the top. Our sweet boy!!
Day One Hundred and Eighty Five
Another view- a close-up of Max's ear, hair, nose and mouth.
It will be interesting to see how his profile changes over the next year.

Day One Hundred and Eighty Three
Jack had a cold last week and couldn't hold Max. He decided when it was safe to hold him again- one day after he felt 100%. This was the day, and he was excited to hold his little brother once again.
Day One Hundred and Eighty Two
The Cekadas brought us a meal - homemade chicken soup and homemade and decorated Christmas cookies. This gave Brian and Michael a chance to meet Max. The thing that boggled my mind was that I took care of both of them when they we just little guys. How did they get so big? 
Day One Hundred and Eighty One
Max puzzling over the camera in his face.
We were trying to get a picture of Max's early morning smiles that we've come to enjoy lately, but when Chris brought the camera out Max was distracted. Still cute, though!

Day One Hundred and Seventy Nine
Jodi, Danny, Zoe, and Darcy visited for the weekend and this was the only picture we got! We had a busy, fun-filled weekend! Becky was here for one night, too, so there were 10 of us under one roof.
Reminds me of the book *The Relatives Came*.
Day One Hundred and Seventy Seven
This year's Christmas tree
We got it up and decorated in spite of a sick kid (one who vomited on the way home from cutting down the tree), a fussy baby (who slept in the Moby wrap as we decorated), and a teenager who dashed in at the last minute to add on his ornaments. Chris and I think it's one of the prettiest trees we've had.

Day One Hundred and Seventy Five
Max at 3 weeks old
Someone at Chris's office suggested that we take a picture of Max everyday in the same place for a year. This is a neat idea, but I don't think I can manage that. But, I can take pictures of him regularly, so we can see how he changes over time.
Day One Hundred and Seventy Four
Sean's gingerbread house
The snowman has been eaten since this picture was taken.
Day One Hundred and Seventy Three
Christmas Tree Day
We got our Christmas tree at our favorite Christmas tree farm, which has a candy cane tree and free hot chocolate served in a spring house. Sean and Jack found the tree, but didn't want to pose for a picture. So, Max and I posed.
Day One Hundred and Seventy Two
Max's first day at COW club.
COW, which stands for Community of Wonder, is our homeschool co-op, and has nothing to do with cows. But, some of us have nicknamed Max *the calf*, since he is our newest addition. He seemed to enjoy his first day, sleeping in the arms of Gayle, Anne and Elizabeth.
Day One Hundred and Seventy One
Happy December!
I had fun filling these little slots with riddles for small gifts and money tokens for the boys as we count down to Christmas.
