The rest of December

Emily and her boyfriend Justin...who is Julius' new favorite person.

Julius and his friend Kirra who was in town for Christmas.

Isn't he the sweetest?

The Blanket

So this is Julius' blanket of choice. Of all the baby blankets he had...he chose the white one! He's completely attached...takes it almost everywhere. But it runs in the family I guess. My sisters and I were all very attached to our blankets...except Emily. After our cat had kittens on hers, I don't think she touched it again. But who can blame her?

Ken, Julius and Jada

The family talking to David on the phone. (Ken's brother who is serving a mission in Atlanta.) He gets home at the end of March! Very exciting...it's hard to believe he hasn't met Julius!

Christmas Eve

The family came to our house on Christmas Eve. Dinner, movies, lots of treats...

Christmas Decor

The poor Christmas tree was decorated and re-decorated many many times...mostly by Julius.

I always found random decorations in the tree...like Ken's shoe.

One of my favorite Christmas decorations is this Santa candle. It was always out for Christmas when we were growing up.

The first BIG SNOW!

Santa

Julius wasn't too interested in Santa...just the candy canes. He figured out how to break them in half to get through the wrapper. I think he got his hands on about ten throughout the party.

Daddy's Boy

This kid loves his dad...wants to do everything he does. It's pretty cute.

Thanksgiving

Amid all the relaxing...oh wait...I have a one year old who's finally teething...and didn't take either of his two naps on Thanksgiving!
{But I'm really grateful...for everything else}
Anyway...that's why I don't have many Thanksgiving pictures.

Family Time

Decorating for Christmas at the Ojuka's house

Jada and Julius

Adri

Random November Stuff

His favorite spot lately. He finds the remote and climbs on the love sac and tries to turn on "Baby MacDonald". He loves watching the animals.

Unfortunately he can open the pantry door now.

He loves his new snow boots. Wants to wear them everywhere.

Helping me decorate for Christmas.
**I've officially decided to start decorating for Christmas about a week before Thanksgiving. It just goes by too fast if I wait until after .

His tree.

Halloween

We decided on a lion since they seem to be his favorite. He says "rarrrr" when he sees any animal.
