What a difference a year makes! Our big boy Nathan, five times larger than his 4 pound self at Christmas Eve last year. I love this picture of him, and those beautiful blue eyes. Christmas Eve morning we woke up and did some baking. Justin helped me make his favorite bread, Zucchini bread, a recipe my mom made when I was a little girl and I always loved as well. We spent time as a family and generally enjoyed the time with G off, which is rare occurance during the week.
We ordered some Chinese food around lunch time and headed over to my cousin's house, who lives right down the road from us now and is fabulous, for our annual Chinese takeout buffet with all the cousins. We loaded Nathan up on Claritin because of their dog, and hoped for the best. He actually wound up doing really well. The Claritin made him a bit cranky and a little unsteady on his feet later in the evening, but, it worked out with no hives!!! Here is the buffet of Chinese food. YUM.
Nathan eating some broccoli. It looks like he is in his car seat, because he is. We used the car seat as an impromptu high chair because we forgot his feeding chair at home.
Nathan was much more excited about eating the spare rib than the broccoli, a boy after his father's own heart.
Six of the cousins enjoying time in Andrew's bedroom. From left to right: Justin at the desk, Nathan, Alison on the floor, Andrew, John sitting on the floor, Evan standing. The kids had a blast spending time together. Its so nice that they have cousins to hang with. I can only imagine what they will be like ten years from now!!!
