Dec 27th Christmas with the Johnston's

At the Johnston's we play Dirty Santa, and stealing gifts is 90% of the fun, unless Alex is playing. He was not happy with me when I stole the above gift from Mary Vann. Thankfully he has since forgiven me.


Dec 27th Christmas with the Lewis'






Christmas with the Lewis side of Blaine's family is getting bigger and bigger. This year there were 5 kids of various sizes running, crawling or being held.

Christmas Evening with Margi and Maw


We had Margi and Maw over for dinner on Christmas Day. One of the gifts was very large and turned out to be a most wonderful Riding Mater!!!

We had a nice mellow Christmas morning this year. Alex was not overwhelmed with boxes and bows, but instead got a couple really great gifts.

The cousins




We had a great visit this Thanksgiving with Andy, Brooke, Emmett, and Hannah. Alex LOVED having Emmett around. We got a few pics of them together, and I have to say they are ridiculously cute.

Myrtle Beach Aquarium




g

And our 2nd trip to the Ripley's Aqurium was just about as good as our 1st. I have to say that I think I loved this place more than Alex did, but he still liked it a lot! The tunnel is the neatest thing, those sharks are sooo cool. But I also really loved this Ray Bay.

I am so glad that Alex gets to have these sort of experiences, it really fuels his imagination and leads to lots of questions, and I mean LOTS of questions.
