Merry Christmas from Max - in case you can't tell, I just want to point out that his shirt says "CHEER".
Max spent his first Christmas in Utah. We had to get up at 4am to fly out there. Max did surprisingly well considering. He still managed to make plenty of friends along the way. One lady stopped and played with him for half an hour. This is him stealing my apple in the airport.
We stayed with his Grandpa and Grandma and all the aunts and uncles from Matt's side of the family stayed at their house too so you can imagine all the attention that was showered upon Max - never mind the presents. He also got to see all three of his little boy cousins on this side of the family.
Here is Max on Christmas morning - just imagine his excitement in a couple of years when he actually understands a little of what is going on. Max is in his Christmas pajamas -his dad did not really approve.
He was so excited that he hardly slept the whole week. We think he must have been too busy re-living memories from the day. One early morning Matt ruled that we were NEVER going on vacation again. Here is Matt in the morning looking extremely tired ...but how do you stay mad at that.
Here is the family. Note Max's little girl cousin featured bottom right below.
It was so nice to see family and friends - and puppies.

Oh Sarah I feel for you! We went to Texas this year for Christmas and James and I were thinking the same thing. "We're never going on vacation with a child this age again!" A couple days were really rough, but it got better. We stayed for almost 3 weeks so by the time we left, Kennedy had completely adjusted. Now that we're back home, we're having to readjust all over again. :) James quit working last summer for the start up company in Spanish Fork to start school full time again. He graduates this April and then who knows where we'll be! I get to stay home with Kennedy and it's wonderful. I don't know how we'll stay sane this winter couped up inside.......sure makes me want to move somewhere warm come graduation!
I love the pictures! They are great. Max is growing so quickly and seems to be getting around with no trouble at all. You are great at your commentary too. It is fun to read :) Hopefully we will get to see you sometime this week. Maddox is still coughing a bit and so we will stay home from church tomorrow. I am crossing my fingers that by Wed. he will be better. That will be day 14.
