August Videos

These videos were actually taken back in mid-late August.  I intended to post them but forgot so here they are now.  When McKinley was a newborn we had trouble getting her to stay awake.  The girl wanted to sleep ALL THE TIME.  We had to try everything to keep her awake when feeding her.  We felt like cruel parents sticking ice on her feet.  But soon got over it when that didn't even work.  The good part was she was sleeping through the night (5 hours+) within 6 weeks of age.
Anyway, here are some videos of us having fun trying to wake her up so she could eat.

A New Year is a good time to reflect on the past and look forward to the future. I had fun doing this on pinterest.  It gave me some more ideas too.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from past adventures and tick marks off the list.

Christmas 2011

Here are some pics of McKinley opening gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Larsen. She almost got the hang of it, as she definitely loved the sound of crinkling paper. After awhile the paper or the present would end up in the mouth.
The cool part was watching her get into the Christmas spirit. As you can tell from the pics, she was definitely enjoying herself.
Eating the Food Mill... just getting ready for something besides milk

 
For Christmas we went with the Tuma side over to Sunriver.  We all decided to dress up in UGLY SWEATERS for Christmas eve.  Yes we walked around the Sunriver Mall and even went to the Christmas Eve church service with them on.  
I personally love Mom & Dad Tuma's matching sweaters.  They got quite a few reactions.

All bundled up for the cold weather but no snow to play in

Nick's mom has this really cool tradition of giving a book each night leading up to Christmas.  What is even cooler is the books she gave McKinley belonged to Nick.  McKinley is reading the same books that her daddy read.
Love central Oregon and LOVE seeing mountains
