Cousins - what a pair!

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!


Baby's first Christmas, in Virginia

"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!

Baby's first Christmas, starting in Texas...

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.


Entranced by Grammie's Christmas tree


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

Begin the Christmas festivities!

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...)
