Christmas in Phoenix, Part I

After a very merry and mellow christmas at home in SF, we ventured south to Phoenix to visit with Amy's brother and parents, who made the trip from either Colorado or Florida (I can't remember which at this point, it's been too long!), to be with all their grandchillun over the holidays. it's so much fun having all the boys together. Now, without further ado, the photos. More to come from this set soon!

Ian was only a little excited to see us





Zach loves to crawl over things ... but in this case he bit
off a little more than he could chew





Zach was fascinated with this toy. He watched Ian and Connor play
with it for what seemed like hours our first day in Phoenix. Then ...





... The next day he was playing with it himself!
This is such a fun age, he's picking things up so fast.





Zach doing either his W.C. Fields or Groucho Marx impression.
He wouldn't say which it was.





Asleep in the pack and play. This is the first time we saw
him sleeping like this. It's now a pretty common occurrence.
Does any adult actually sleep like this? What a cutie!





Let the unwrapping begin! We spent three days opening
presents, we needed every precious minute we could get ...
and there were still some gifts left wrapped for another day!





Connor loves - loves! - to climb on any and everything.





He also enjoys yoga, and long walks on the beach





For the most part, Connor was very generous when it
came to sharing his toys





... Like this one ...




... and all his "stuff", too. Like his highchair.
Thanks, Cousin Connor, you rock!
