Max's 1st Christmas

We remained jet-setters over the Holidays with a visit to Wyoming and then Minnesota for New Years.  We had a wonderful time in Evanston with the Freeland's.  We learned to play Wii Just Dance with the nieces (rather they kicked our old butts), stayed at the gorgeous Red Canyon Lodge, fished for trout, visited the Flaming Gorge National Park, had our 1st Max free over night in Park City, shopped till we dropped, witnessed Max's 1st belly laughs courteous of Miss Emily's entertainment, fed Max rice cereal and had many more fond memories over our 1st family Christmas.

Max playing it cool for Santa.

Scott flew straight back to Montreal while Max and I continued to play.  We celebrated Christmas part 2 with the Eck's, rang in the New Year at Maggie's, attended Lindsey's baby shower (can't wait to meet little Johnny), bridesmaid dress shopped with Andrea (excited for the big day September 1st), partied down for Alison's birthday, enjoyed many Target runs (Walmart just does not compare), watched Max sit-up alone for the 1st time, and had tons of fabulous lunch and dinner dates.

We are all back in Montreal getting settled into our new apartment at La Cite.  So far we're loving our city and river views from the 30th floor, and being connected to a mall in the below freezing weather.  Scott's new 2012 Cirque du Soleil show finally has a name, Amaluna.  Check out a small sneak peek on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vr7023_JdU  

Max has a 1st nearly everyday now and we look forward to sharing the ride.  Enjoy our Holiday photos below.  We love and miss you all!

Before we left for the Holidays Max turned 5 months old!

Hard at work in his "office"!

Canyon and Max were best buds in WY

Best Christmas gift ever!  Our little angel sleeps 12 hours, travels like a pro, and coo's and hoo's all day.  We love him!    

Max LOVES his cousins! (Max, Emily, Kaytlen and Kortney)

Difficult getting a family picture.  Our little doggy is easily distracted.

Giddy up horsey!

Gorgeous view from cabin at Red Canyon Lodge

Emily the Pro ice fisherwoman!

Kaytlen and I are letting the fish come to us...

Scott prefers a more proactive approach to fishing :)

Not a huge fan of rice cereal

His lips were sealed after the first taste.  Thankfully carrots and apple sauce have gone over much better!

Happy 2012!  New Years bonfire at Maggie's. (me, Jen, Thach (Happy Birthday too), and Maggie)

Sitting up all by himself!

Max fighting Anne for her glass.  Little did he know she would WWE style a baby over wine :)  

 Ladies (+ Max) night out for Alison's birthday dinner

Happy birthday Alison!
