Finnian's 2nd Birthday!

Finnian turned 2 years old on January 24th so the weekend after we had a family birthday party for him.

Two years old already!

Finnian started yelling, "Cakes, cakes!" when he saw the cupcakes.

He needed help blowing out the candle.

Yummy in the tummy!

Present time!

After the first one, he got the hang of things.

Good growing, Finnian!  We all love you very much!
 

Christmas 2012

I've been a little lazy updating my blog - sorry for that.  This post is just a small sample of pictures since I was unable to download one of the cameras.  When that happens, and if there's a few great shots, I may put up another Christmas post.
 
We had a lovely Christmas.  Auntie Delta stayed over on Christmas Eve and we had a quiet evening at home.  I did about 6 hours of prep work for Christmas Dinner the day before and that really paid off - I got dinner on the table with no hassle!
 
A family picture on Christmas morning - the boys were super excited!

The older boys opened everything together, since they knew that they would be playing together with it.
 

They helped the grown-ups open presents too.
 

Mommy and Latham
 

Daddy bought himself a Christmas present that was his favorite thing he got all day.
 

Our families came in the afternoon for Christmas Dinner.  Bubba (Grandpa Holte) is a popular guy at our house.
 

For some reason Nana (Grandma Holte) is always left out of pictures, and unfortunately this was the best one of her.

There was 12 total of us celebrating Christmas together.

We hope you had a Merry Christmas too, and all the best to your families in 2012!
