early Christmas in Spokane

Colton and I flew to Spokane for 4 days at the beginning of my break from school. We had soooo much fun visiting family...everyone was enthralled with Colton and his cuteness. Who can blame them?? :)

Uncle Tanner and his cute-as-can-be nephew.
They are totally buddies...especially when Uncle Tan lets Colton hold his phone.  

Colton loved looking at and "talking to" Sadie the dog through the sliding glass door. However, once the dog came inside he wasn't so sure since she was very big compared to him.

Auntie Sydney and her little bestie---nephew Colton. She is an amazing aunt and so very helpful...great babysitter, too!

My dad and sister.

Grandma Jules and her boy.

Sisters!!!
love her!

Sydney and Briana with Colton.

Ariane, Colton, and Grandpa Irv.

It is so much fun learning how to work his new toy.

Colton helping Mommy unwrap her presents...by sitting on them, ripping off the bow, and playing with the envelope.

envelopes are one of Colton's favorite things this Chrismas season!

Colton's Uncle Tanner, Great-Aunt Mindy, and her doggie Thelma June.
Colton and Thelma June have a love-hate relationship. Especially after he wanted to pet her, but accidentally slapped at her. Opps. No wonder she ran from him.
