Whew... it's all over!

This is the first day after Christmas that I didn't go shopping! We stayed home, played, cleaned, played, put away all of our presents, played, and took it easy! Thanks everyone for a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Part III - Christmas Afternoon with Grandma & Papa

Christmas Part III was spent at Grandma & Papa's house! We opened lots of great presents and had a very yummy turkey dinner!

It's a remote control alien robot!

Having more fun with boxes!

Modeling one of Gracie's presents...

Where's Matty?!

Christmas Part II - Christmas Morning with Mommy & Daddy

Christmas Part II was spent at home! We had to wake Matty up at 8:30 to get started with his presents - he's got a lot to learn still about getting up early on Christmas morning!

Santa was here!

Matty's first glimpse of all his presents!

Matty's new gourmet kitchen! He has been cooking non-stop since Christmas morning!

Another Drum!

Taking Elmo Shopping

A Hersey Christmas tradition - Blueberry Pancakes!

Christmas Part I - Christmas Eve with Nana & Grandpa

Matty is a very lucky boy and had 3 Christmases! Part I of his Christmas celebration was at Nana & Grandpa's house on Christmas Eve. We opened tons of great presents and had our traditional Christmas Eve feast with Nana's yummy lasagna!

Matty got a tricycle! It comes with a bar so we can push him until he is big enough to go himself! (that's his old friend Henry Lion riding with him)

And Elmo's Restaurant!

So much to take in...

Matty putting his hips into it :)

Taking orders at Elmo's Restaurant...

A remote control police car! One of Matty's favorites!

Matty has always been good at banging on things, so the drum was a big hit!

The Little Drummer Boy

Snow Baby

We had some major cabin fever after being in the house all day Saturday while 17 INCHES of snow was falling! So, Sunday morning we headed out to play! Matty wasn't too sure about all the snow. He liked it, but he was very serious while taking it all in.

Helping Daddy shovel

Making snowballs!

Thanks Nana and Grandpa for the sleigh!

Snow Doggie

I don't think we have gotten so much snow in Brady's life. Being from the mountains of Pennslyvania, Brady felt very comfortable in all the snow. We saw Brady move in ways we didn't know he could :)

Looking handsome as ever

Ready for Snow!

Look who is ready for tomorrow's big snow!!!! Matty's modeling his new bargain ($14!) snowsuit that I picked up today. He's all set now - baby shovel, sleigh, snowsuit - now let's see if it actually snows!

Svelte & Spiffy

Brady went to the vet today for a total groom! He got a bath, had a total body hair cut, nails trimmed, ears cleaned, teeth brushed, etc... He is a sight for sore eyes - handsome as ever and smells even better! He was there all day, so he even got to join in on Puppy Playtime after his groom. And what is the best news that we got today?!? Brady lost 8 pounds!!! That's right - since his last check-up in April, he's down 8 big ones! Maybe that's why he's been so grumpy? Ha!
