Happy December! My how the year flew right by! Here is a quick photo recap of our month. Enjoy!
 |
| Thatcher was a trooper helping me finish Christmas shopping. He "earned" a stick balloon and crashed in the backseat while we were out an about. Poor kid! |
 |
| Thatcher is really getting into Elmo. When I need to steal a few kid helper free moments he loves to snuggle up in our bed and watch Elmo on the ipad. I was reorganizing our closet so there was a huge mess! |
 |
| Thatcher did great with the Christmas tree. Just a few reminders to be gentle and look only. We started reading books under the tree each night before bed- he loved it! |
 |
| Jack and Thatcher are turning into good friends. They decided to snuggle up with some blankets and watch about twenty seconds of a Christmas show before hoping down and being crazy! |
 |
| Waiting for daddy to come home has become part of the routine. Daddy is able to run home and grab some dinner before heading back to work. Thatcher loves watching through the kitty door waiting for daddy. |
 |
| We decided the Saturday before Christmas we should probably try and do a Santa photo for Thatcher. We talked about it and ended up at the Village in Meridian. The line wasn't too bad, but Santa had a reindeer emergency and we ended up waiting in line for a few hours before he was able to come back. Thatcher was a trooper and eventually we met an awesome Santa, even though Thatcher decided he wasn't as excited about it anymore. |
 |
| Not sure when he became such a big kid, he loves to copy whatever we are doing. Today- reading the newspaper. |
 |
| Santa at Walmart. Thatcher was just in it for the candy cane :) |
 |
| Again with being a big kid... he realized with a little boost he could reach the light switch. He was pretty proud of himself, and the lights have been a little less dependable. |
 |
| Opening gifts with Grammy and Papa, Great Grandparents Beal and Skyping with Lara, Mike, and Carter. Thatcher was a big helper making sure everyone else was getting their gifts opened. |
 |
| This is a very common sight at our house these days. Lines and lines of "twucks and tars" He is very particular about what ones line up together and which direction they face. |
 |
| Mommy's Christmas gift! Saved up some Christmas money, shopped around and ended up at Sears for a 10 inch chop saw :) The guy at the check out was a bit surprised when I pulled Thatcher out of the stroller to put the saw in to get it to the car. His words "I didn't know chicks could use stuff like that". Oh if only he knew what this Chick had plans for... |
 |
| We rounded out our holiday festivities with a trip to Pocatello to see Grandpa and Grandma Fuller and Adam, Robin, and Malachi while they were visiting from New York. Thatcher loved playing with "the baby" and being spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa. (The picture is fuzzy but that is a piece from a board game and it says "hazard" Thatcher thought it was hilarious that it stuck to his forehead) |
