Merry Christmas!

Well, hello everyone and Merry Christmas (just a few weeks late)! This has been a crazy month. I apologize that I have not posted in so long. I think I was overwhelmed with trying to sift through the 500 plus pictures we took this month and pick my favorites to post. Anyway, here are a few of my faves. The shot of Wheaton we used for our Christmas card above was one of them of course! I suppose it would only be appropriate to begin this post with pictures from our Christmas celebrations, so here goes.

We stared off the festivities at the annual Schepker Christmas Eve party, hosted by my parents this year.


To the excitement of all of the kids, Santa Claus made an appearance.


Wheaton enjoyed meeting his extended family.......

....and seeing his aunties again.

We were up very early Christmas morning.

We all wore our pajamas over to Mimi and Papa's on Christmas morning.

We spent the day opening presents and snuggling.....

The boys enjoyed playing the wii!


Wheaton was very excited about all of the books he got for Christmas!

We all had a great time.......

.........but we were all pretty tuckered out by the end of the day!


Other fun things we did in December...............

Lewis Ginter Garden Fest of Lights......

Adam and Wheaton in front of the Bloemendal House (where we had our wedding reception).

This is the arch where Adam and I got married!

Wheaton's first playdate with BFF Rommy:We really thought they would have more fun!

Although they did start to loosen up after awhile.

Wheaton has grown to love practicing our yoga moves!

We spent New Year's Eve at the Mescall's:

We made a fire in the fire pit......

and enjoyed some tasty appetizers.....

It was a really fun night!

Other mile stones this month include:

1) Wheaton has rolled over from back to front and front to back
2) He weighs 15 pound and 7 ounces
3) He is 25 and 1/2 inches long
4) He tried solid food for the first time (rice cereal)......

I don't think he really cared for it.......

We will keep trying this month!

Well, as you can see it was a very busy month. We are all exhausted!(another precious outfit courtesy of Dixon Mescall)

We had something like 500 pictures from this month so you can see why it took me half of January to get this post up! We are looking forward to a calm January and February! Take care and check back for updates in February! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
