More Christmas

We celebrated several different Christmases this year and the first was the weekend before Christmas at the beach. We met the Boones at Carolina Beach and stayed at the same beachhouse that we occupied last January. Meal time around the big table with all of the family was fun.
At least Cyrus thought it was fun.
Turner just wanted to get at his presents.
Uncle Adam was happy to hand them out and happier that one of the largest ones turned out to be his.
Family on the couch. Maddox just opened his gift of fresh mackerel.
Turner studying.
Addi and her dad.
It was very cold but the waves were terrific.
The day after Christmas was spent with the Vasbinders. Bailey was highly mobile.
Nealy loved her stocking.
Mommy hood.
The Yangs and their stockings.
The big hit were the chairs for Turner and Bailey. We were very blessed to spend Christmas with so much family.

Christmas morning

Here's a bunch of photos from Christmas morning. Starting out with the stocking which contained some small trains, spoons, and sippy cups.

After a nap, Grams and PaPa came over. Turner hasn't noticed the toys under the tree yet.
Now he has.
And the truck was the first one he went for.


The basketball was second.
And then the rest.



Grams and PaPa enjoyed their gifts too.

Christmas with Turner

Turner got so many great Christmas gifts that he hasn't touched an old toy in days now. Here are some videos from Christmas Day.

Turner's Chrismas truck from Matt Boone on Vimeo.

This is the first thing that Turner ran to on Christmas morning, a new monster truck. He woke up early as usual and went through his stocking but then wanted another nap, which was fine because the larger gifts didn't come out until his grandparents arrived at 8.

Turner's new Christmas ball from Matt Boone on Vimeo.

He has been holding this ball over his head and then letting it hit his noggin. We think that he is trying to shoot the ball but hasn't quite figured it out yet.

He likes rocking with his new guitar.

Turner's Christmas puzzle from Matt Boone on Vimeo.

He got a couple of puzzles that he has had fun with.

Here he is opening one of those puzzles.

We had a great time with him over the course of three family Christmases!

Halloween featuring The Man of Steel

Turner had a great time on Halloween. Introducting The Man of Steel. The T-man enjoyed his cape many days before Halloween.
Superman and his trusty sidekick, Krypto.
Even Superman needs a snack every now and then.
Superman and his Grams, presumably either somewhere on Krypton or in Durham.
Our visit to the pumpkin patch was entertaining.
Turner was amazed by the Indian corn for sale.
He had a hard time picking out just the right one.
But this is how it turned out. It's a kitty cat!
Here Mommy teaches Superman how to fly.
Superman and family. The Yangs and theVasbinders came over for the big evening.
Superman and his father, Jor-El, well known for his love of the Panthers.
It's Jon and Kate! If anyone could get them back together, it would be Superman.
The Man of Steel on his trike.
These people handed out all of our candy.
Bailey and Turner in the wagon and Riley and Ty behind.

This kryptonite snack necessitated Superman's ride around the neighborhood in a little green wagon.

Turner's Birthday!

Our little boy turned one on September 23! We celebrated with friends and family in Apex on September 19.
Turner had the perfect outfit for the occasion.
All in the ballpit!
The T-man really enjoyed all of the wrapping paper and boxes. Much more so than the toys.
Intense concentration was needed for this toy.
We had cupcakes to celebrate.
And Turner plowed through his. It was a very fun day for our special boy!
