Over the holidays we had a great, though hectic time with lots of visits with family and friends. Max opened his first Christmas presents, and couldn't have been less interested. Next year that will all be different. First we celebrated with the Itos. Here is Max opening gifts with Uncle Jon:
And we had a lovely visit with the Mochizukis - Min on the right was the one who married us 4 1/2 years ago and also married Mike's parents 39 1/2 years ago. We were so thrilled that they were able to stop by and meet Max. Max only had eyes for Min's wife June.
Then we headed for our whirlwind trip to Michigan to visit Mike's family in the Detroit area - Max just LOVES his cousins!
And doggies - seriously daddy, I think Max really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really wants a dog. Preferably a big one.
Santa managed to find us Christmas morning even though we weren't at home and brought Max his first stocking. Complete with a hand-knit hat that Mrs. Klaus must have made for him.
Max had a visit with Uncle Phil who is headed overseas with the military this month. 
Grandma Wood got Max a sled for Christmas so we took it out today to try it in our new fluffy snow. Max enjoyed it, and it was a good workout for me.
We had an amazing 2009, and are looking forward to a great 2010 watching this cutie pie grow up. We have lots of firsts ahead of us, including hopefully a first night of uninterrupted sleep as we started sleep training last night. Max surprised us by not crying as long as we thought he would. So we are making baby steps towards getting on track in the sleep department too.
And this is just another gratuitous shot of cute hand-knit items that I made for Max.
Happy New year!
