Christmas - Round 2

We had round 2 of Christmas yesterday. This time it was the Schute/Diemert get together and it did not disappoint.

The day started with brunch at 11. We got over there a little early to help my dad with his Ipod. Liam decided to start his day with a bang! He has been standing on his own for a while now and lately he is pretty much walking. He can hold one of your hands and cruise along or walk around the coffee table so fast it will make your head spin, but he still needs a little bit of a security blanket. He is still a little scared to do it on his own. Well on Saturday, he actually took 4 steps to me all on his own. It was amazing and you could tell he was so proud of himself.
Shortly after that, Keith was holding him when Ceil walked back around the corner. Liam looked her right in the eye and said "Hi!". Two huge accomplishments in one day. The kid deserves presents and that is just what he got. ;)

So back to the subject at hand. We had a HUGE brunch at 11. Then, since it was gorgeous out, we headed down to Forest Park with all the dogs and putted around there for a bit. I kept thinking it was Christmas and was so confused to see the Boat House so crowded.
We then ventured back home and played board games, ate more food and eventually got to the presents. Liam actually helped unwrap his, as well as others and got some great stuff. Followed by more food with dinner at 7. I think the plan was to go see the lights at Tiles, but it was way past Liam's bed time and we had to scoot home. Overall a great Christmas. Looking forward to round 3 in just a couple of days.

Here are some pictures of our awesome day!















Oh and on a side note, Keith and I got a night out on Saturday. We went to Waterstreet Cafe for dinner and it was absolutely amazing. We then got to hit up the Iffrig Christmas party for the first time in like 5 years. It was great to see all of our friends before the holidays!
