The Marshall Clan

Family time at Grandmother's house

Great Grandpa

Max met his great grandpa Roberto. He loved him!!! He was smiling so much at him. He loved Letty and his Aunt Denise and Mindy too. They bought him lots of cool toys for Christmas and we ate the most delicious tamales that Letty made. Mike ate five, I ate three.... :)

We can't wait to see them again.

Christmas Day

We woke up to this load of presents... I guess this is what happens when you have six kids and a grandbaby! I think we will stick to having 2 or 3 ;)

Christmas Eve in the Snow

We went to Idllewild to see my Aunt Tillie and cousins in the cabin they were staying in. It made our Christmas feel more like Christmas! Mike had a snow ball fight with my cousins Diego and Niko. We had hot cocoa and tamales... yummy! Later that night, Jeff made a delicious dinner, we watched a great movie called Namesake, and then opened presents. It was so fun... the best Christmas Eve yet.

My Incredible Savings

I just wanted to let everyone know about my incredible savings I had at the grocery store. I've been using coupons ever since I heard about how much money you can save if you use them right (thanks Rachel!). I know this is a silly thing to blog about but I'm just so proud of it!!

I paid about $44.35 for $115.95 worth of groceries. So awesome!!!

I also bought 8 packages of diapers for $44.92. They were worth $95.92! Yay!

Reaching

My baby is reaching and playing with his toys now! I'm so proud.

Little Buddies

Max and his cousin, Stephen had a fun week together.

Thanksgiving in San Diego

We got to see Mike's Aunt, Uncle, and cousin. They were really cool.

Beautiful Grandma!

He did it!!!

Max Slept through the night last night! I've been working on getting him to sleep through the night for a couple of weeks now and finally my lovely mother-in-law told me what she did with her five children at 8 weeks and I decided to do the same. It worked! We're so proud of our boy!

Tub Time with Daddy

Max just loves taking baths with Daddy! When he's fussy, we just put him in the bath tub and he's happy again. He's definitely gonna be a little water boy... especially when Mommy starts giving him swim lessons!

HALLOWEEN

We went to the Milton/Thorson Halloween party. It was fun! Great food! :) Max was a football, Mike a football player, and I was a cheerleader. Mike designed Max's costume and I sewed it all together. It came out pretty good! He loved wearing it.
