L - For the Love of Liam!

Since Nana & Papa live in New Hampshire and Grandma & Grandpa live in Tampa, we had to get some pictures of them all with Liam in the same room! Even though they are all different, they all share one thing in common...they LOVE Liam!

L - Papa Time

Liam and Papa have a special relationship and only get to spend time together a couple times a year - sad, but they sure do know how to use up their time together wisely!

L - Christmas Day

As we do most weekends, we played outside...but with more family and more toys!

Liam and his Christmas outfit, ready for baseball!

Uncle Nate teaching Liam a thing or two about t-ball...don't ask why Uncle Nate is teaching him. However, the end result...Liam quickly got the hang of it!

Liam was a professional going backwards, but moving forward on his own is going to take a bit of practice. So, Uncle Jimmy gave him a push around the yard.

Uncle David pushing Liam, after making the sign for "more" and "please"...of course!

Papa taking his turn to push Liam!

L - Christmas Morning

Liam was priceless on Christmas morning. He took it all in...SLOWLY! After being encouraged to check out his new car, he didn't really want to get out. He didn't understand the concept that those were all of his gifts from Santa. With a little help along the way and stops to play with the new toys, he got through it all - with smiles, chatter and laughs.

L - Santa Arrived Overnight

Mr. Santa Claus visiting The Schlosser home while Liam was snug in his bed for a LONG (he slept through the night, which he hadn't done in weeks!) winter's nap.

He loved the cookies and beer!

And left little Liam a floor full of goods! Liam has truly been a blessing and I think Santa knows that too!

A & L - 2nd Christmas Eve

Liam is old enough that we wanted to start our own family Christmas traditions. Even though we were missing a key piece (Joe), we were excited to have so many family members in town to celebrate with us.

We attending Christmas Eve children's mass - one day Liam may play a lead role in the pageant, but this year we enjoyed the signing and dancing.

The Bowlers!

More Christmas Eve hugs! Can't get enough!

A mistletoe kiss!

A traditional Christmas Eve munchie dinner, while watching tv and laughing with family.

Unwrapping one present on Christmas Eve from Aunt Beth (you know, cause Santa comes when you're sleeping).

A thank you hug for the Percy the Train pillow pet! Choo choo!

Watching Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas!

A & L - Christmas Eve Day

By Christmas Eve, everyone was in town (Uncle David arrived later in the evening). We spent the day staying busy and charming everyone...mainly Liam was doing the charming. However, we were still able to do some "mama and Liam" stuff too.

Like wrestle and share belly laughs!

Bake together...cookies for Santa!

I think Santa is going to be pretty excited to see these beautiful cookies!

L - Christmas Outfit

A couple months ago, I found this flippin' adorable Christmas outfit for Liam at a local consignment sale. I couldn't help but have him put it on for a "mama photo shoot."

L - Co Pilot

I am a consignment store junkie - I admit it. It is because of finds like this ($5.99) that I continue to go back. Check out his stride of confidence! If Joe is the AC (aircraft commander), then I am the navigator and Liam is the co-pilot of our family. We are so blessed.

L - The Weather is Warm

Despite the fact that it is December, the weather has been beautifully warm. So, we spent more time outside...and boy, does Liam love being outside!
