Look Who's 1!

Julius turned 1 on December 14!

We celebrated by having lunch at Pizza Hut. Julius loves pizza and pretty much anything with tomato sauce...I must have eaten a lot of Italian when I was pregnant :)

Yummy! Pepperoni, thin and crispy crust please!

We also decorated our own party hats...

Julius enjoyed his cake! The dogs did too!

Opening presents was lots of fun, he did really good with tearing the paper...now we can't keep him from tearing open the Christmas presents :)

Some of the fun things Julius can do:

--Scoot on his bottom

--Crawl

--Wave bye-bye and hi and he says these two words in his own way :)

--Say what the monkey says: ah,ah

--Cruise everywhere in the house

--Eat dog food :)

--When we ask for a kiss he says "mmm" and gives you a kiss

Olmstead Christmas Tree Farm

To our great delight (or at least mine and Julius!), we went to a tree farm and cut down our very own tree!! It was really neat to walk through all of the trees and find one just right for us!

Nick got a little tired of my indecision!

But we did finally get a tree and Nick got to cut it down with a handsaw :) luckily the trunk was not too thick...of course Nick might beg to differ :)

Julius loves this little ornament, so it hangs on the bottom of the tree just for him to grab :) he lost interest in the decorating pretty quick! He went and played with his toys after about 3 minutes :)

Nick sporting his ugly Christmas sweater that I made for his work party...apparently I made it too matchy so people actually complimented him on it instead :)

We had a lot of fun decorating the tree and so far Julius has only broken 3 ornaments! Can't believe Christmas is less than a week away!!
