Great minds....

Clearly there was a sale on maternity clothes at the neighborhood Target!

We had a very fun Christmas season this year. Dylan was really into the holiday spirit--he loved to see Christmas trees and lights. As much as he talked about Santa, he was wary of the big guy in red (we reassured him that Santa only comes to the room with the tree on Christmas, not to his bedroom). We capped it off with a great dinner with family and friends.

Here are some of the highlights of the season. Click on the last photo for the full album. Happy Holidays!

Dylan as bare as the tree and loving it!

Dylan's reaction to Santa Claus.

Dylan is Santa Claus (at least that is what he told me before we took this picture).

Future Doctor?

Dylan opens his gifts on Christmas morning.

Dylan finds his big gift in the garage!

Mommy & Me

Christmas Eve

Dylan gets a doctor set...

...and knows just what to do!

Gramps, Nanie, Mommy, Daddy, Dylan, Jesus, Mary, Joseph...

Dylan absolutely flips out because he can't have the Eucharist (not kidding)...

Gramps exits the altar (he had the overflow crowd so had to dish out extra Eucharist)...

Hoops...Again

Santa's Delivery

Santa delivered Dylan's new car to the appropriate spot...the garage. More Christmas pics to come!

Passed Out...Tent Style

Christmas is tiring!

Fun with Mommy!

Mommy and Dylan time is the best!

CA Trip

These photos are long over due, but click the picture below to see more from our trip to San Diego at Thanksgiving. Dylan couldn't get enough guitar! He also really enjoyed his Sponge Bob Birthday Party. Thanks to Nana, Papa, and aunts and uncles for the fun!
