Our Christmas break started out a little rough - Zach got an ear infection Christmas Eve! Poor little guy!
But he still got in his Hokie gear to welcome Grandma & Poppops!
We were so excited to have them with us for the holidays!
Zach couldn't wait to show Poppops his mad soccer and Tball skills!
We took a drive out to Oneonta for some Christmas lights!
Makayla & Zach loved it! We drove through twice!
FIRST PRESENT - Zach's annual ornament from Grandma! :)
After hanging his new guitar and train on the tree, he decided to take a ride on the wild side!

Every time we go to the zoo we have to get a giraffe shot!
We had a great time
But then we got caught!
And Zach got to try roller wheels
Mom did quite a good job! ;)
Thanks Grandma & Grandpa!
And putting up Zach's new swingset!
This swing was supposed to be for Makayla but Zachy loves it
Makayla enjoyed just sitting on the swing in the grass
And what is more fun that a big cardboard box?!
Our little girl is growing up
Little Sis - Big Brother shirts!
And Zachy sure is a great big brother - always wanting to love on sister
Take down time!!!

On our warmer days this winter, we tried to hit the zoo!
Zach has really grown to love seeing all the animals
One of my new favorite pictures - classic shot of true smiles!
Zach is also learning to share - he loves pushing sister in "his" swing
Sister loves it too! :)
Makayla at 7.5 months old - sitting pretty! :)
Makayla also loves the basement - crawling/rolling into everything!
Zach has a new favorite toy - helmet!
Makayla is getting around good now - she loves getting into everything she can
End of Jan - we took Zach to his first circus! He was in awe the entire time!
Uncle J, Makayla, & Daddy too!

Zach's latest trick is thumbs up (also notice the tongue in cheek - inherited from his daddy)
