A Month of McIntyre

Does it still count as a blog if I only post once per month?  Whatever.  You're here now!

December went something like this:

We played in the snow--Graham's first time!

We visited Santa (and the Mrs.) in Woodbury.  The best part of the day was seeing Santa in his car on the freeway, then following him to the breakfast.  Liam called it "Santa's deer car" since it had antlers glued to the side.  Classy.

Graham's pulling himself up to standing now (and loving it!).  Makes it tough that he now refuses to bend his waist when you try to put him down!

Wrapping Christmas presents was a bit of a challenge with this little monkey!

Liam starred as a sheep in the school Christmas program.  He's happy to BAA for anyone that asks.

Cleaning with a 20-lb baby on your back is all the workout you need!

Grandma and Grandpa went shopping, then got rewarded with sangria

So freakin' cute (the one on the right.  No, not my right.  Your right.)

We opened plenty of presents, including the latest in baby laptops.  Graham will build spreadsheets for a small fee.

Liam's special note from Santa.  Santa's a damn good writer.  He made Liam's mother cry.

Wrapping paper makes me smile.

Christmas love.

A collapsed lung didn't stop this girl from partying!  Leftover sangria makes you heal faster.

You can't tell, but we're up in Fargo with Grandma and Grandpa Mac here.  We just kept taking pictures of the baby.

Bowling superstar (as long as we have bumpers, a ramp, a 6-lb ball, and some very patient grown-ups).

Liam completed his very first advent calendar puzzle.  Can't wait to do it again next year.  Maybe we should just start one with 365 pieces...

Testing out the cake pop maker--a highly useful appliance

So it's been a very exciting month.  Thank you to all our friends and family who helped make this holiday season so special!  We love you!
