Cousin Time...

This is one of those rare moments that I was able to capture a picture of Marshall being still and just watching something! I usually watch Deakan once a week or so while Heidi does her massage therapy job! The pose where Marshall is on top of Deaken is his favorite. Deakan is a good sport and doesn't seem to mind being roughed up by his cousin. Marshall has no mercy. Please don't laugh at the horrid green pants Marshall is wearing in the last few pics. I got them as a gift and it's great to not have to worry about socks.
I can't believe Christmas is only 5 days away! I just wrapped all my presents tonight and put them under the tree! Tomorrow morning a nice gate will need to now be wrapped around the tree to protect the presents from Marshall. He is into absolutely everything. Cords, phones, computers...why do they like electronics?
Anyways Merry Christmas if I don't post again before then!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...

I'm so excited that Christmas is here! I just finished my shopping today! I can't wait to wrap all the presents but I know that Marshall will destroy them if I put them under the tree so I must wait! We did get our tree this past weekend and it was so fun. My aunt and uncle opened a tree farm this year so we went with my parents and cut down our very first tree! (Last year we got one from the lot in the Safeway parking lot...lame! Matt's learning a thing or two about traditions!) Anyways it was so fun and we love our tree. Marshall really likes it too! The first time he crawled over to it he grabbed it and yanked so hard the tree almost fell over! Now I put my footstool in front of the tree so he can't get to it!
My brother in law also got us this train that goes around the tree! Yesterday Marshall waited for it to go around a couple times before he pounced on it, but today it didn't even make it around all the way before he grabbed it off!
Life is busy right now but we're so excited for Christmas! I'm not sure if I've told everyone or not but we're going to Texas for a few days after Christmas to visit some of Matt's family! If you have any travel tips with kiddos for me, please let me know! Okay hope to hear from you all soon!

And We're Up!

Okay I'm about to run out the door so I can't really write a lot but I wanted to get these pictures up. This weekend has been a big one for Marshall as he started to pull himself up on his knees on things. Then tonight he pulled himself all the way up onto his feet. Too cute!! Anyways just a quick post tonight but I'll update it again soon!
