Park Family Update

I have been so busy with family stuff, shopping, getting Christmas cards/letters ready and the Holiday season that I almost forgot how to log into my blog to update. Bare with me as I attempt to add lots of photos and a little writing to explain what the heck has happened in all our pictures.
First is a few pictures of James just growing right up. He has learned how to hold his own bottle. For those of you who didn't know I have had to work very hard for him to even drink from the bottle. We are now over that thank goodness. James loves Orange Julius (just like his dad and older sister). I catch Brandon giving him taste's all the time. I also catch Brandon making orange Julius for Breakfast just so he can let the kids get something a little different in the morning. Dantzel and James both just LOVE it. James has discovered his high chair as well. He has realized that he can sit in it and finally be a part of the family. He loves to sit and play with toys while we play games, eat or are just hanging out in the kitchen.





The next 2 pictures are just my kids hangin' out together. I am so very blessed with kids that get a long so well. I know for a fact that they love each other very much. It melts my heart to see them have so much fun. Dantzel even tries reading to James. James is so patient with Dantzel. He just totally lets her pounce on him. He thinks it is so funny. Dinky just likes to be in the middle of it all. He sure has been a good dog to have around the kids.




The next picture is Dantzel playing with her princess wand and tiara. Brandon brought them home from work one night. Dantzel thought they were the coolest toys. Buck and Chris or should I say Chris sent them home for my spoiled little princess. I got a picture of Brandon playing with her that was way cute but, I think he would be really mad if I put it on the blog. You all are going to have to settle with the picture of my cute little girl. Sorry!



Dantzel does the most random things. Sometimes we wonder where she learns stuff. The other night Brandon took off his shoes and socks in the family room and the next thing we see is Dantzel putting on his socks. It was so funny because when I took the picture, both Brandon and I said it is too bad she didn't have on a huge belt buckle. Just the way she was standing it would have been perfect. I was really tempted to add one but, maybe that will have to be on a later post. I have both kids in the room with me and when that happens it means that my posting time is about done for. Especially when I can smell something that stinks!



Last but not least I thought I better add a few pictures of the Hills Christmas party. We had a lot of fun and, Brandon even looks like he had a good time. You had to be there to see why he had such a big smile on his face. If I was the one who opened the gift he got, I think I would have been bright red. I take that back, I know I would have been bright red. If you want to know more you are going to have to email him for the details. His email is brandon@mesquitegroup.com I am sure he would love to have people ask him all about it. :)







We hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I will try to add our Christmas letter in the next day or two just so you all can view it online.
