Two Years Old!

Richard had a nice, but low key second birthday.  Of course, he didn't exactly know what a birthday is, but he loved his "new to him" tricycle and blowing out the candles on his cake.  He liked eating his cake even more.

He is still stunningly tiny.  His 12-18 month clothes have plenty of room in them!

The rest of him is plenty caught up.  He's got full sentences, including "Anthony takey me's cranberries."  Yes, second child can clearly tattle!

Christmas Morning

 Fortunately the boys didn't wake up TOO early!!!

Santa was overly generous as usual!

We had a light breakfast and then a large lunch at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, followed by exploring Christmas in the park.

Christmas Eve

Don't the boys look so handsome in their Christmas sweaters?

We enjoyed the 5:00 church service, as Richard napped through the earlier service.  Richard even went up front with a few hundred other kids for the children's time.

We came home, ate dinner, set out cookies for Santa and then EVERYONE headed off to bed.
