Christmas time

After Hank's blessing we were counting down the days until Christmas Break to relax and have fun. Before leaving for Seattle we went to Alameda for our yearly stroll down Thompson Lane where we saw awesome Christmas lights from our car in the rain.

We made it up to Washington just in time to cut down a Christmas tree, see a rainbow, go to our cousin's wedding reception and hangout with family. I ate way too much and so did Hank, but I did go the YMCA once. First time working out since Hank's birthday!! Woohoo.

Lunch with Meka
 We came home after New Years and sadly had to get Hank vaccinated. He has been a different boy ever since. Has this happened to anyone else? He won't let me set him down and walk away without screaming. Hopefully he returns to normal soon.

Love the pictures! It looks like you guys had a GREAT Christmas!! And to answer your question about the whole vaccination thing, yes the same thing happened to Jack. When he had his two month check up and they gave him a bunch of shots we tease that this is when he truly "woke up." After that he was a lot more aware of things, but the crying and constantly needed to be held did go away after a couple days! Hope everything settles down for you!

I love the pics, he's so cute!! Brynlee has now named all of her babies Baby Hank, so you know we all miss him... and you guys too. Don't worry about the vaccines, all our kids got crabby for a few days and then it got better. It's a good indicator of what he'll be like when he's sick for real! We can't wait to hang with you guys in the sand and sun.
