Christmas 2011

Here are a couple of Christmas pictures.

I snuck down to Disneyland yesterday with the boys and surprised Lisa with a picture of them with Santa Claus.



We had this taken in front of the Disneyland Christmas Tree on Thanksgiving weekend.

Family Photo Shoot

Last Sunday we had Family Pictures done by one of Lisa's friends from high school who is now a professional photographer.  She sent us a few pictures to tide us over until she is able to edit and provide the entire set.

Alaster's Birthday Morning

Before the party and dedication we had for Alaster a couple days after his birthday we had a few things he got to open on his actual birthday morning.

Some Birthday morning presents.

He wasn't quite sure what to do.

No worries…big bro was eager to show him how it's done.

Grandpa and Grandma made a quilt for him.

Let's open this thing up and check it out.

Alright, a nice warm and cozy quilt to keep me warm this winter.

The next one is from Uncle Paul, Aunt Barbie and cousins Dustin and Madi.

He tore the paper off so quick we couldn't even get a picture of it.

He got a Little People Noah's Ark play set.

We don't feed our children cupcakes for breakfast; we just happen to put him in the same PJ's that he had on that morning.

Good thing we hadn't lit the candle yet; he reached right out and grabbed it.

Xander got to enjoy one of his little bro's birthday cupcakes.

Happy Birthday To Me….

…Happy Birthday To Me...

…Happy Birthday Dear Alaster, Happy Birthday To Me.

Alright, let's get this thing in my mouth now that the fire is out.

Xander & Alaster Playing

Alaster found his way INTO his toy box.

I guess if you really want to play with all your toys this is the way to do it.

I got in here, so now I gotta figure out how to get out.

Here goes nothin'

…almost got it.

Success!

Brother's having some fun together.

Alaster's First Haircut

The before picture as he waits for big brother to get finished up.

He was beginning to look a bit frazzled.

Xander loves getting his haircut from Santa; yes, that's really her name, but she pronounces it Sãnta.

Looking good.

Ok…it's Alaster's turn to get cleaned up.

He was certainly having a good time.

Alaster did a great job of sitting still for Sãnta.

So cute.

Alright, he's starting to come into focus.

His haircut made such a huge difference; he really looked like a big boy after his chop.

A Quick Fishing Trip & Picnic

Alaster enjoying the lake.

Xander and Daddy drowning some worms.

Xander hoping for that first bite.

Lisa actually being a little goofy with this self pic.

The best remedy for not catching any fish…a nice picnic under the trees.

A great picnic spread

What a "goof-ball"
