a big thank you to grandpa zoe and grandma moj for an awesome early birthday present! beckam love love loves it!!!
some pics from another one of our photo shoots of our cute boys....
beckam's now officially a big boy and not cuz he's turning 1 tomorrow....he got a big boy carseat! i thought he'd love it and be a lot better in the car, but he proved me wrong again and seems to miss his warm snuggly little baby carseat. oh well - on to bigger and better things becks!
here are a few from our annual gingerbread decorating tradition :) we thought about letting becks in on the action but figured this was more of an us thing. we went with a train this year in honor of big ron, and it turned out pretty cute!
the portland zoo lights are a must see when it comes to pre-christmas fun, and we braved the 45 minute trip (because of an accident of course - portland drivers are horrible!) and then the 25 minute wait for a parking spot to make sure we got the full experience. beckam was tired and all bundled up, and we didn't stay too long, but it was lots of fun and worth the craziness!
another tradition that we hope to keep up while we're down here is the portland festival of trees. we went with the poytress family and had fun looking at all the trees and taking in santa's workshop and the teddy bear hospital. becks got a jingle bell necklace at the workshop and it was a choose the necklace, shake the necklace, eat the necklace chain of events - always ends with eating with this kid!
i thought i'd try to get beckam's face painted but was a bit skeptical that he'd let it happen. he sat there so good though and got a little wreath while aj picked the snowman and miles cried through a candy cane stick. aren't our christmas boys cute!
the teddy bear hospital was tons of fun! the boys got to pick out a teddy bear and name it, and then the nurses mended up the bears' owies and casted or bandaged them up. then, the bears went in for surgery and got their masks and hats, and the boys just really loved the whole thing! here's aj with teddy and beckam with russell :)
last but not least, a family shot! that's what christmas is all about right :) we have had tons of fun together over the holidays so far but can't wait to go home and celebrate with our families too. beckam has been so much fun to play with, and we can't wait for christmas morning!

Wow, Portland looks like a fun place to be for the holidays!!!! BUT i'm sure glad we're getting visitors tomorrow and then again in a week. The Christmas Tree Festival looks like a blast for kids. Isn't it great to have great family and friends to do all the fun stuff together and such cute pictures too!!!
I love how cute your little family is! And how adorable is Beckam?! He looks so big in his new car seat! Hope you all have a great Christmas in Canada!
So much fun! I think last year was the first time that Parker actually sat with Santa - but I still wouldn't say he was totally comfortable!
Look at you guys doing so many festive things. Can you believe we never went to the zoo lights while we were in Portland? I'm too big of a wuss when it comes to the cold.
