Christmas

This post is a little late but I am trying to catch up! When my parents were here for Wesley's birthday we decided to head down to the Riverwoods and check out the lights. There were some very beautiful trees!
As you can see above Wesley is like "alright, let's get this over with!"......he could care less about Santa:) I guess it's better than being totally freaked out!
First time playing in the snow!
I had to post this. Wesley is so infatuated with teeth and gums. We think he is going to take over the family dental practice....guess Brent won't be able to retire for a while!
On our way to an ugly sweater party for Ryan's work. Although I think Wesley looks adorable in his sweater, he is making a pretty goofy face.
From Utah snow to California sun!
Christmas morning going through his stocking.
What have we here?!
That is the first time we have given Wesley any kind of sugar like that. He was devouring that sucker. We of course only let hime suck on it for a few minutes, it was Christmas morning.....he HAD to have some sugar!
His activity cube from the grandparents!
After church on Christmas day
Friends! We had a friend get together while we were in California and I finally got to meet little Lila, isn't she just a doll? Even cuter in person if you can imagine that! It was so fun catching up with everyone!
Wesley LOVED "skiddy" the kitty. As you can see she is hiding behind him, smart move cat!
This is how we rang in the new year! A couple of frozen pizzas and some redbox movies. Wesley came down with a fever of 103 that afternoon so we decided it was best to lay low and relax. It ended up being a lot of fun!

Happy 1st Birthday Wesley!

Wesley turned 1 on December 20th and so we threw him a party about a week before. Here are some of the highlights!

His dinosaur birthday cake that I poured my heart and soul into:)....totally worth it by the way!
Mmmmm yummy cupcakes!! My cousin Allison gave me some great tips when making them. Thanks again Allison, they were delicious!
Jelly filled ones too!
Presents! Unfortunately Wesely was cutting a tooth the day of his party so we had to do things out of order because he was a bit grumpy. Presents, then cake. I guess it was his party.
More presents!

Wesley was NOT shy about digging into that cake! What a boy!
Mmmm oh SO good!
The after math (poor dino)
These next couple of pics were taken on his real birthday.
We gave him a puzzle, he has seemed to like it. Probably not his favorite toy, but I think it will be good for him as he gets a little older. He can take them out, I guess that's a start.
Great Grandma Maggie gave him this molding kit for his birthday so we immortalized his handprints:) He seemed to like it.
Since we had already given him a very sugar-filled cake at his party, we decided to make some healthy homemade blueberry muffins for his birthday. He didn't mind!
Happy 1st Birthday my little man!!
