Welcoming a new decade.

Happy Holidays!

I am finally getting to upload pictures from the holidays. Sorry it has been a while since my last post. It seems like Thanksgiving bled right into Christmas and then New Years and here we are.

It has been a busy holiday season. We were in IL for Thanksgiving/Marx Christmas/Harrison's baptism. It was a whirlwind trip with a special event everyday...Harrison was sick the whole time but was a great sport. We spent time with family and it was a lot of fun! Thanks Mom and Dad for your help fitting everything into such a short time. xo

Thanksgiving Day

Exploring Christmas presents (at Thanksgiving - Harrison is going to think that Christmas lasts for 6 weeks)

Harrison with his Godparents - Uncle Tony and Aunt Stacey on his Baptism day

Nana, Opa, Great Nana and Great Nano

Then Aunt Diane and Uncle Dave came for a weekend visit from San Diego. We discovered a new Italian restaurant that we all loved and went on a brief yacht club tour in the area. Somehow in the mix of things I forgot my camera. So just imagine sitting at the window of a yacht club bar overlooking the sunny San Francisco Bay - imagining Harrison taking sailing lessons in about 5 years - all while playing cards:)



Then Christmas decorating, shopping, cookie baking, holiday partying, and then packing to head to PA for Christmas/New years/Harrison's early birthday celebration.

My Mom and Nana were baking cookies in IL the same day that I was finishing up my cookies.....what a plethora of Italian cookies.

This is from our first family Christmas at home. As you can see, Harrison was having a great time and Murphy could not miss out on the fun.

Christmas morning on Harrison's First Christmas (that hat did not last long). He loved the Christmas tree and in his cute little voice would point and say 'eeee'.

The Schneider Family on Christmas day

We had a great time at Todd's parents for the holidays with lots of time to hangout with family and friends, relax and play. Thanks for the great time Donna and Bruce. Harrison's first Christmas was a special time that we will always remember:)

2010 was such an amazing year, welcoming Harrison into the world and seeing him grow and become the happy little guy he is today.

I am trying to insert a video here:)

It's hard to believe that he will be one year old in less than a week! At this time last year I had just finished work and was thinking 'Wow, I have two full weeks to get everything done'...little did we know that Harrison would be joining us a little early! Really, who cares about getting things done:)
