December Fun

Today our baby boy turns 7 months old. We were lucky that on this month birthday David saw all of his Grandparents.
Here he is with Gram and Grandad. They came to visit for a couple of days so that Angie could accomplish some Christmas shopping. They were so helpful; Angie was able to finish all of her shopping and then Gram helped wrap. Before they left all the gifts were wrapped and under the tree.

We also now have a baby boy beginning to walk. When you hold him standing he was beginning to take a step. So, Sunday morning before church we pulled down his walker...look at him go.

In September Angie bought all of the ingredients to make pumpkin bread with David during the fall season. Well, those three months came and went and Angie and David never seemed to find the time to make that pumpkin bread. So, during the first week of December Angie and David made Christmas cookies; she did not want to miss baking again with David.

We went to look at Christmas lights Saturday night. We went to the 37th street lights, another tradition that we have had since we were dating. This year was a little harder than in the past. Remember, David has a bedtime of 6:30. Here he is bundled up in his pajamas, jacket, second layer of pants, and two pairs of socks. He is almost asleep and we are only pulling out of the driveway.

Those of you not familiar with Austin, the 37th street lights fit the theme of "Keep Austin Weird." Here are a couple of the displays you can find on the street.

A giant monster made out of foil...

elves playing musical chairs... and every house has a unique display. What Did David think of this fun, well...

he was almost asleep for our hour stroll. He was warm in Daddy's arms.
Tonight we went to Mimi and Grandpa Ed's house to make Christmas cookies with Greg's family.
