Tirzah and Isaac haven't seen each other since this summer, and they have both changed a lot! They don't seem to recognize each other right away...
...but there's nothing like opening presents together (and with Aunt Julia and Uncle Trevor) to make for a bonding experience!
They often cozied up to whichever aunt/uncle/mom/dad/grandpa/grandma was available for cuddling! (Dad/Uncle Garin is pictured here.)
Whatcha doin'?
Good buddies!
"All the Whos down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot."
Good morning, Grandpa!
On Christmas morning, first he opened his stocking...
...then, the PRESENTS!
Hmm, this looks tasty.
What a great-looking gift...
Peek-a-boo
Okay, enough opening presents...
...let's play with my new toys!
Christmas sure is exciting!
In his car, with Aunt Jess
Breakfast with the aunts
Visiting Uncle Tim at his house in Granbury
On Friday, Mom and Isaac went to Waco to visit friends Hutson Carruth Harper and his parents, Mike and Callie (friends from seminary). Hutson is 10 months old, and so cute - laughing and tumbling. It was a picture of what Isaac will be like in 5 months!
These are Grammie's dogs - Annabelle (brown) and Sydney (black). Isaac loved watching them run around the house.

A Christmas picture with his best girls!
These snowmen danced and sang a song - he loved it!
Laughing with Great-MamMa and Great PapPa Parish
Helping Dad put up the Christmas tree.
After working hard on the tree, it's nice to relax...
Are any of theses for me?
I found one!
The best gift of all!
A family portrait, in front of a scenic wintry wonderland - Santa was out feeding his reindeer. (And, yes, Isaac is crying - it had been a long day...)
The "before" picture...
...and the "after" picture!
Ahhh - all clean!
Dad preached the sermon, and Isaac was very sweet throughout the service.

By the end of the service, though, he was really tired and cranky.
On Sunday, we decided to try feeding him some rice cereal!
Open up - here comes the airplane!
Hmm, does he like it? Doesn't look like it...
Please, no more!
In the airport, getting ready for the flight. Isaac did great - he slept through most of it!

playing with Aunt Stephanie's Blackberry
MamMaw knitted a warm winter cap for him.
Believe it or not, it snowed in Texas on Thanksgiving day. Here are Dad, Cousin Joey, Aunt Stephanie and Aunt Jessica playing in the snow. Isaac and Mom were napping, so Isaac missed his first-ever snow!
