Our My Gym visit

We took Sam to his first class at My Gym.  He was hesitant at first but then got into the hang of things.  He seemed to have a really good time and the instructor was awesome.

Sam cried when we took him out of the ball pit.  He loved just sitting in the balls.

 Down the wrong way on the slide.  He also preferred to climb up the slide. 

Loved the stairs/bridge.

 Sam clapped whenever he got to the top:

Swinging through the air with the teacher!

Taking time out for a swing:

By far, Sam's favorite place to hang out was by the ball bin.  He would play with the different balls and throw them in the basketball hoop.  Hmmm...wonder where he gets that from...



And finally, some independent circle time where Sam plays with the other kids and teachers while the parents watch.

Football Sam

Cousin Eli sent Sam his Broncos jersey.  Too cute!

New hat and gloves

My mom gave Sam a couple new hats and gloves.  Sam tried them on and seemed to like the gloves even though they made playing with his toy phone a little difficult.

My little man

J and I stopped at a park and took some pics of Sam.  I think he looks so grown up!  Where's my little baby boy?  :-)

Remember the days when running was fun?  When you would just laugh and laugh while running?  Sam does this.  For me...yeah, not so much now.

Christmas Part 3

We finished up our Christmas day with a ride on Sam's new tricycle.

Drea and my dad were messing around with the camera.  My dad was practicing his umpiring skills.  "Safe!"

Hope you had a fabulous Christmas!

Christmas Part 2

Sam was very snuggly on Christmas morning.

After dancing it out, we started the round 2 of the gift opening by checking out Sam's stocking:

And then on to the gifts from Grammy and Grampa Shap.  Elf on a Shelf (can't wait for next year!!!)

A cool pop up book:

Some soft toy animals: 

Sam tried to help me put together his Dino Popper by reading the directions:

A very cool Little People Construction Site: 

Thanks to the Indy Shaps and Denver Shaps for the very generous gifts!!  Love you all!

Christmas Part 1

We started our celebration with dinner at my parents' house and opened gifts.

Sam is one spoiled little boy!

The biggest gift of the year?  My dad got my mom a CRUISE!  :-)  (He hid the itinerary inside a Dooney and Bourke purse.)

Thanks to Harmony, GP, and Auntie Drea for all the gifts.  You all are the best and we love you VERY much!
