Thankful Day 9

Today I am thankful for Holidays!  Holidays are so much fun.  They bring fun decor, traditions, and often special spiritual experiences with them.  We have missed out on sharing our experiences from the most recent ones so here is a quick update in photos:

I always love Christmas, and last year was no exception.  We made our Gingerbread houses, watched TONS of Christmas movies, played games, decorated cookies, and all of the other fun things that go with it. (This was the ONLY picture I managed to snap on Christmas Day of the two of us - we were ready to head out the door to church.  NO, I do no know why I am making that face - must be pregnancy making me crazy...)

Valentines Day was fun because it was Max's first holiday.  We took PLENTY of pictures, but here are the best ones.  As you can see Max got way too much stuff for valentines day - we will NOT be keeping up with that on.  {if you notice, there is a Plush Darth Vadar there, and as if that wasn't enough, it s actually a backpack.  One week old and he already has star wars toys...}

For Easter, this year we did not do our annual Egg Hunt, but that didn't prevent Max from hunting on his own (well, with a little help from Daddy).  For the record, this may have been the most fun I have ever had taking photos cause I just couldn't get enough of that cute tiny little suit!

The 4th of July was fun - we got together with friends and enjoyed a little home  grown fireworks show - turns out that I am a little crazy about Fireworks....

You've already seen some of the Halloween pictures, but here is the one where he did his first "official" trick or treating at the Nelson's.  It was super fun.

And now I am TOTALLY in the mood for the Holiday season.  Thanksgiving and Christmas are such a super fun time of year, and I can hardly wait!
