Merry Christmas!

Boston's first Christmas was pretty darn fun! We had the brilliant idea of letting him open his presents first thing in the morning before his after-breakfast nap... maybe not the best idea.


But our little trooper forged ahead and at least got a pretty good haul.


After our failed attempt at instilling Christmas-morning jitters we headed to Grandpa and Grandma Jones' house where I foolishly forgot to get any pictures, but Boston got some awesome P.J.'s. We then headed for Big Sky country to visit Great Grandpa Mac. First things first, the two McNallys had to size each other up...


...after which Boston showed Grandpa how he can tell time with his mouth.


Boston got another chance to be excited for presents. Grandma helped him open them and monitored his wrapping-paper intake. Enjoy this "First Christmas Part II" montage.


Boston also got to take a bath in Grandma Kate's cool claw-foot tub.



And finally, we lowered Boston's bed for the first time because... he's starting to pull himself up. They grow up so fast.

Six Months Old!

Alright, so dad's slacking. I didn't take any pictures on Boston's 6 month birthday last week so we took a whole bunch this weekend.

Say no to this face? Mom and dad are in for a real treat the more charming this kid gets.


Kjerstin decorated the Christmas tree for Boston's first Christmas. We had to let him help a little so he didn't feel like he wasn't participating. Boston's job was to lubricate the ornaments with lots and lots of slobber so they slid onto the branches all nice and easy.



We took our Christmas card pictures today. We played around and had some fun while we were at it.


Boston just loves his mommy.


I've been slacking on the monkey pictures, too. This is not an optical illusion, Boston's head is almost as big as George's. Boston was roughing George up a bit, just to remind him who's Bos.


One of life's smallest, and yet infuriating, frustrations is seeing your kids doing the cutest, funniest and most memorable things and you either don't have a camera or the camera doesn't click fast enough to catch it. Well, evidently it's just me because Kjerstin was able to catch some of these funny faces Boston has been making lately.
