Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year....

First off a belated Merry Christmas to everyone out there and a Happy New Year!!! We were so excited to celebrate Christmas together as a family of four. Since I knew that I was getting induced on the 21st we didn't make any plans to go anywhere for the holidays. It was such a change to stay at home all day in our pj's and not have to travel anywhere. Don't get me wrong we had a great Christmas, but we did miss celebrating with all of our families. We just celebrated the past couple days with Jon's family and we still have to celebrate with my family next weekend. Brayden now thinks that Christmas last a month long!!

I didn't know how Brayden was going to take having Logan around here, especially right at the holidays too. But much to my surprise Brayden has been absolutely amazing with Logan and us. I didn't know if Brayden was going to be mad at us or the baby, but so far we have had no signs of him being upset at us or Logan. He has been very gentle with Logan and if he cries Brayden is the first one to run to Jon or I and tell us that Logan in crying. We even witnessed Brayden busting out into Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to help Logan stop crying, it was adorable!!

As for having a second child in the house we haven't really noticed at all. Logan is opposite as it comes from Brayden. Brayden was very alert all the time and was not a sleeper at all. Logan on the other hand we are lucky to see his eyes for about an hour a day. The rest of the time he is sleeping and he does his best sleeping when he is cuddled in someones arms. He eats about every 3 hours during the day and goes for about 4 hours at night. I am not going to jinx this, but so far so good!!

Here are a bunch of pictures from the past couple weeks, enjoy:

Brayden doing what he does best, playing hockey!

It's hilarious when he plays hockey he also has to wear his Blackhawks hat.

Jon holding Logan for the first time

Logan and Grandma Patty

Logan after he got his bath, the kid needs a serious haircut, look at the sideburns!!

Logan and Grandma O.

My boys on Christmas Eve!! What a great Christmas present to be all together.

Brayden on Christmas morning taking a "picture" of Logan. Note that the camera is not angled at all towards Logan. It was hilarious to actually look at the pictures that he took, they were all of the floor or wall.

Brayden taking a picture of me, notice the camera angle again.

Daddy and Brayden having a sword fight with their peanut butter cups that Santa got them

So this picture is hilarious to me, Brayden wanted to help Jon take out the trash. Let's break down the outfit: Mickey mouse pj's, snow boots, one glove (he refuses to wear both at any time), hockey hat, and chocolate all over his face!!

After a long day of opening presents Logan and I crashed on the couch

Logan celebrating his first Christmas

Brayden was pretty obsessed that Logan wear his hat the first couple of days, then Brayden wanted to try it on.

Then we find Logan like this, Brayden decided that Logan should wear his hat.

Logan is a pretty deep thinker while he sleeps!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!! Your boys are adorable and I am so glad Logan is a good sleeper (knocking on wood for you). Makes me hopeful that baby girl D will be the same?! :) Let us know if you need anything!! We are so close and could bring you dinner or anything you need!

LOVE all of these photos. That first one of Brayden with the big smile in the hockey outfit... immediately saw a little Orchowski in him, no? Love that one of Logan with his eyes open in that red outfit- absolutely adorable. So happy that big brother Brayden is being awesome- I'm going to be keeping my fingers crossed over here!! And Brayden has a real camera? Awesome! So glad to hear that you are all doing well. Did I see that you have a second blog started?? xoxo
