Christmas is here!

I've been out of town visiting family and friends, so I am backed up on my posts. Here are a few photos of what Cyrus has been doing during Christmas Break.

We took some x-mas pics of him dressed like a reindeer (courtesy of his Aunt Lisa). We got some nice pics out of it, but I actually liked the ones where he didn't look so great even better! Here is a series of the "throw-aways."


We opened stockings early at my parent's house and Cyrus seemed to like his Cracker Jacks best. You can see more videos of this on my mom's blog.


Then he decided to get naked to really enjoy himself.


Sunday night, I drove down with Cyrus to Columbia, SC to visit with my college friends Sarah and Saskia. This is how Cyrus greeted them. It was understandable, since we had to wake him up from sleeping in the car. Bad first impression!




He was much sweeter the next day after he had gotten enough sleep. We were sitting in a restaurant here, admiring how "motherly" Sarah looked.


We walked around a lot on Monday and it was quite cold, for the south. Luckily, Sarah had knitted Cyrus this hat. It kept him warm in his stroller as we walked.


He got tired of sitting, so his Aunt Saskia agreed to cart him around.


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!


We expected Sarah's dog Boston and Cyrus to like each other more, but they just weren't that interested.


Cyrus and his aunties sure did like each other though!


We're home right now and about to leave for FL tonight. We checked the mail and look what arrived! A package from great aunt Martha! How exciting!

Cool! His very own cell phone. Boy, they sure do start young these days. (See his first reaction to it on the video above).

It's so good to see Sarah and Saskia again. How nice that you all make it work to see each other from time to time.

MERRY CHRISTMAS GIRLS!

Oh, I forgot to add that I laughed so hard at the "throw away" Cyrus-the-Reindeer pictures that Banu had to jump off my lap. Each time I look at them I laugh again... even thinking about them makes me laugh. Either they're really funny or I'm insane.
