Christmas Prep

I am WAY behind on updating the blog, but I wanted to share some of the photos from Christmas Prep. Not only am I behind on updating the blog but we were behind on Christmas as well. We didn't get the tree up until the Friday before Christmas and we finished our shopping on Dec 23. Whew! Here are some of our favorite photos from that week.

Typical one-year-old!
Who needs toys when you have packing material?
This kept Oliver entertained for a good 30 minutes.
The kids at Oliver's school had a book exchange the week before Christmas.This is Oliver opening his book that he got from Charlie with a very inquisitive look on his face. Oliver has become more and more expressive. Here, I think he is saying "mess, who, me?"
"But I'm SO cute! How could I have made a mess"
Madalyn loves cuddling in the winter. She is always bound to find a spot to curl up. Even if there isn't much room left for her.
AHHH..... Oliver LOVES balloon's!
We went out for breakfast last week and they gave him this balloon that he carried around EVERY WHERE!!
While we were laying on the floor watching TV one night, Oliver was walking around by holding onto us. Before we knew it, he had let go and was standing alone, hands free! We had to get up to get the camera but by then he was not going to stand alone for the photo. He did, however, find a nice seat with Dad's hand.
Oliver LOVES Peak-A-Boo! Since we made room for the Christmas Tree, he discovered that he can play peak-a-boo around the couch.

Check out that static cling hair!
I was trying some new settings on my camera and ended up with these two shots that crack me up!
Can you see the brain power action?!
Since this is the second year for several events with Oliver, we now declare them traditions!
This is Oliver's 2nd annual Christmas Ornament.
This is the 2008 Hamilton Family ornament.
You can tell that last year was Baby's First Christmas because he has a wide variety of ornaments to prove it. This was one of my favorites.

Keith, taking it easy.
Oliver in the light of the Christmas Tree.
Never fear, the balloon is near!
