G'bye 2010

These past few weeks have been pretty busy.  Add in a trip to Midland for Christmas and I've been totally wiped out.  So, it's a wonder I took any pictures at all.  Here's a recap of recent activities.

My dear friend, Michelle, had her sweet baby on December 14 and we were finally able to meet him just before Christmas.  They've named him Arthur Reed Snyder, III or "Tripp" as they'll call him.  He is absolutely adorable and perfect in every way.

Jack was a very happy boy on Christmas morning.  
He was clapping when I went in to get him.

Here he's playing with the ball popper that we got him
(and actually STILL plays with!)  

Yep, that's chocolate on his mouth.  Patrick decided to introduce him to an Oreo before our car ride to Midland.  Maybe that's why he was awake for longer than we'd hope he'd be.

Cruisin' on his new "motorcycle" he got from Gran.

Jack and his "marble machine" from Aunt Nancy.  Growing up, we had one of these at my Grannie's house except it was handmade and used marbles.  Too fun that Nancy was able to find one that was baby friendly.

Below is a picture of Jack and my cousin, Abbie.  She was AMAZING with him!!  It certainly helps that she's 11 and has tons of energy, but honestly she was one of the most natural people I've ever seen with him.  I should mention here that he took a liking to her as well.  Anytime she left the room, he wasn't far behind to see where she was off to.   I really wish she lived closer (they live in Ruidoso) so we could take advantage of some babysitting!
