A glimpse into Christmas 2008

Wade and Emma doing some coloring on Christmas Day at the Sohlers.

Lila looks unimpressed at her new toys...notice the big yawn!

Wade, that looks a little too heavy!  

You must have a been a very good boy if Santa brought you something that BIG! 

We caught you!!  Wade and Allysen digging into some peppermint candies.

Lila and me on Christmas Eve before going to church and the Spencer Christmas.  Thanks for Lila's Christmas dress Uncle Marion and Aunt Erin!

Wade on Christmas Eve

Needless to say Dozer does not like Wade's new vacuum but Wade LOVES it.  I think it's one of Wade and Grandma's favorite things to do!!  Just kidding Mom :)

Grandpa Plumb is so goofy!

7 months old

Lila turned 7 months old on the 22nd.  She is such a happy girl!  She is sitting very well and is still on the verge of crawling...she gets up on all fours and starts rocking and then usually falls flat on her face.  She can get to where she needs to though by rolling over and Wade has had to keep his toys under close wraps.  He tends to like to steal anything that Lila has and she of course does NOT like this one bit. We keep telling him that one way she is going to fight back!

Hughes Christmas

Wade suprisingly liked Santa this year.  We weren't sure what to expect.  We went to visit him at the mall the night before and he didn't want to sit on his lap....he talked to him but only if I held him.  The next day he couldn't get enough of Santa...I think he sat with him a couple of times and he kept on going back up to show him what he gave him.

Thanks for helping me with the Gingerbread House, Aunt Katie.  It tasted REALLY good!!

Colette's Shower

On Saturday the kids and I went to Colette's baby shower (congratulations again!) and Wade had a blast!! Wade, Joseph and Colin are all within 6 months of age and had a great time digging into the cupcakes together :)  

Three mischievous little boys!

"My cupcake has more frosting than yours!"

Wade had a lot of fun watching Ryan play his Nintendo DS. 

 Thanks for being so patient with him Ryan!!

This picture is hilarious!

Thanksgiving Weekend

We spent Thanksgiving day with my family (my mom wanted to get a photo for her Christmas cards...a lot of more work these days!!).  My grandma and uncle were also able to make it.  The night before Thanksgiving we were with Luke's family.  It was so nice to have a couple of days off of work and spend it with family! 

Pat (Wade's Godfather) was in town from New York for Thanksgiving.  Wade learned to say Pat so that's all we heard for a couple of days! It was great to see all the Whannell's and Hillary and Natalie!  Wade can't wait to see you at his 2nd birthday party Pat!  Haha, just kidding.

Eat too much turkey and potatoes, Lila??

Wade is my big helper (or so he thinks!).  He especially likes to help give Lila a bath and try to dump lots of water on her head (ahhh!).
