Max's 1st Christmas in "Peka"!

Before going to "Peka" for Christmas, we had our Koshlap Christmas at home and opened presents from Grandma and Grandpa Koshlap. I wanted to put on this new red shirt!

Christmas Eve morning, Connor and I got our hair cut at Poppy's barber, Lynn's Head Shed. We at a lot of Cheez-Its while getting our trims.

Here's my baby brother, Max. This was his first time to GG and Poppy's in Topeka. He loved it!

Connor and I had fun playing in the kitchen with GG's kitchen tools.

Connor and I got our own special little table. We liked eating here together!

On Christmas morning, Mommy and Daddy asked if I wanted to open presents and I said, "No, I want to take a bath with Connor!"

Connor and I had fun playing GG's piano.

I love Cali! I love to ride her and give her lots of hugs and kisses!

Poppy held Max a lot while we were opening presents. Max did a really good job.

Santa brought Max this doggie hat and these football cards.

Santa brought me my very own piano and it even has a microphone so I can sing! I LOVED giving concerts for everyone. Also, GG and Poppy gave me these cool purple K-State Converse shoes.

"Auntie" EB came to visit me and my brother.

"Auntie" Kate came to visit too!

GG and I did a special project together. We made snowmen out of little white donuts!

My little baby brother, Max, is so sweet!

Pre-Christmas Fun and the Terrible Flu

Reid and I at our very last music class... these were cool instruments!

Miss Trilla gave us candy canes!

After music class, we always get stamps on our hands AND on our tummies!

GG came to stay with Max while Mommy and I went to music. GG read to me when we got home. This is the day I got really, really sick with the stomach flu pretty much right after we read this book.

Poppy came to help out and take care of Max and me because Mommy and Daddy got the stomach flu really bad. (I had it 2 days before them and was really sick too.) :( I have shoes JUST like Poppy!!! I call them my "Poppy shoes"!

Here's Max and I on the blanket that our friend, Shelby, made for us!

Daddy joined the fun.

Mommy and I made a gingerbread house today! I kept wanting Mommy to squirt frosting on my finger to lick it off!

My brother, Max, is SMILING big now!!

Holiday Joy!

We've been doing lots of fun things to celebrate Christmas coming up. I'm enjoying this marshmellow Santa that Grandma sent me from Florida.

We went to look at Christmas lights last weekend and I wanted Daddy and I to wear our cowboy hats to go look at the lights. So, we got our cowboy hats on and each had a candy cane as we drove around looking at the lights. It was lots of fun except Max screamed for about the first half hour and I couldn't hear the Christmas music in the car.

The next day, Mommy and I did a special project together. We made these cute little reindeer cupcakes.

Aren't they cute?

My little brother, Max, showing off a smile!

We went to Reid's house for a cookie decorating party. Here's Reid, me and Michael. I liked licking frosting off the spatula.

Cameron, William, Reid, me and Michael all decorating our cookies.

Max is 1 month old!

Daddy, Max and I hanging out - I've got a candy cane - I love candy canes!

Here's my little brother smiling on the activity mat!

This is me at 1 month - I was kind of making a "stink face."

Here is another picture of me (Cole) at 1 month.

Now here's my brother at 1 month.

I think we look a lot alike!

I love this chicken leg!

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town

Just Pictures

Max sleeping peacefully with his arms crossed, a rare sight! My baby brother does not like to sleep very much at all lately!

I helped Daddy trim the Christmas tree when he got it home.

Max is so tiny, he fits in his stocking!

Helping Daddy put lights on the tree.

Lots of times when Max cries, I will say, "Mommy, does Max need his pacifier?" or "Mommy, where is Max's pacifier?" Then I like to give it to him. I can help him stop crying!

Poppy, GG and their Christmas jammie boys - Cole, Connor and Max!

Look at Max's cute little reindeer bottom!

Little Turkeys

Max and I are making funny faces - I think Max is trying to make the same face as me!

Max had his first real bath on Tuesday night! He cried, but then he liked getting all cuddly in his new "Max" towel from the Ayres Family.

I call this my "funny hat."

GG's friend, Susan, got me this stomp rocket. Mommy and Daddy say, "Thank you, Susan!" It has provided hours of entertainment, both in the house and outside!

CHEESE!!!

Here's my little brother, Max, on his first Thanksgiving! Isn't this outfit from Brett and Alyssa so cute?

Gobble, Gobble - Happy Turkey Day!

Mommy and her boys cuddling on the couch.

I loved getting to eat in the dining room! I had about 4 helpings of mashed potatoes and gravy, that was my very favorite!

"I love you, little brother!" Max is liking his activity mat and can reach the little birdie already!

Max likes the swing... sometimes. We both prefer bouncing on the ball, though!!
