December


December was filled with family and Christmas! We welcomed Spence and got to know this sweet little boy.
Benson helped Daniel set up the Christmas tree and get ready for the holidays since I was spending a lot of time with Spence. I had my first piano recital for my students at our home so Daniel and Benson put together all the Christmas decorations in time for that! The kids all did a great job and it turned out to be a really nice little recital...but I didn't take any pictures. :( So, you get a picture of an undecorated tree!
Mom and Dad came to help us out for a couple weeks while we adjusted to life with two little boys! Benson adores his Grandpa! They are kindred spirits with a couple generations between them.
We had a fun Christmas in Ohio with the Watkins family! Traveling with a one month old went surprising well. It was the almost two year old that we had the issues with! As soon as we parked the car at the airport (we hadn't stepped out yet) Benson threw up over everything. We frantically cleaned him, the carseat, the car, the clothes...and rushed to catch our plane. It was a bad start to a great vacation.
In our nativity this year Daniel was the wiseman and Allison was "Virginia" Mary!
We brought Spain to us complete with luminarias, flamenco dancing, nativities...
Spencer's blessing day! We are sure grateful to have him in our family! We love you Spence!
Spence had his first bath! He loved it!
And we enjoyed some more Spence!
