So here's our update since I've not been so good at this blogging stuff lately...
The Hunsaker bunch survived the holidays!!! Both of mine & Shane's family have a lot of traditions on Christmas so we spent Christmas Eve with the Bohun's (Shane's mom's side) and then Christmas Day with my family.
We had a great time at Grandma & Grandpa Bo's!!! Every year, there's all the things that make a great party: fabulous food, lots of family, and lots of laughing!:o) All of Shane's aunts were there and a few cousins we don't usually see.
They also have a tradition of reenacting the First Christmas and this year, since we had the baby boy, Shane played Joseph, I played Mary, and Drake was Baby Jesus. I tell ya what, I don't think I've ever sympathized more with Mary than I did then! So that was quite the experience...
Then we spent Christmas day with the crazy Pedersen's:o) All the boys got air-soft guns which quickly turned into an all out war in the backyard. Shane was still in his pj's so he came with little red welt's all over and one just an inch away from his eye! Oy... Gotta love the boys! But we did good this year! I got Shane some clothes and a gift certificate because he's on another health & workout kick and I don't have the first clue about the supplements he wants! And Shane, my sweet heart, got me a pearl set that I so love!!! And to top it off, a gift certificate to a day spa. I love him!:o) And Mr. Drake, got lots of toys! But I think he liked helping unwrap those presents a little more!
We were a little bit of party-poopers for New Year's. New Year's Eve, we went to Bobby & Veronica's -we love them!- for pizza and a movie but went home before midnight:o/ I was in bed and Shane walked in and said "Hey, it's midnight! Happy New Year!" Haha the joy of being an old married couple!:o)
But we went on a family hike New Year's Day and that was fun cuz we've definitely not done that in a while! Mr. Drake really liked it too:o)
Something about the way Daddy hikes put him to sleep!
On our way up South Mountain! Over view of downtown Phoenix!:o)
One thing Shane and I realized this week is he's learned to throw temper tantrums to get what he wants... Oh. No. Haha I told my mom and she reminded me it's ok for now because he can't talk. But I tell ya, once he learns, I will be all about using words! Haha But yes... this tantrum in particular was because he wanted some of my frosty. Shane was holding him and he started whining. Didn't get what he wanted, so he started crying. That then grew into arms flailing, arching the back, and screaming. It was lovely... So I saw him watching me eat it and I held my spoon up to him and he got quiet immediately. Bad, I know, but I gave him a little bit and he smiled at me and you would never have guessed there was a problem just seconds before. Little booger.

Finally... We'd been doing the teething thing since October! I used to have a cabbage patch baby that reminds me so much of Drake now because of those 2 little teeth on the bottom. So cute!
It amazes me how fast he's learning to do things. He's army crawling now. I will admit I was getting a little worried that he's getting behind on the things he's supposed to learn cuz he still won't roll over from his back to tummy on his own. It's almost like he wants to skip all of those steps and go straight to walking!:oS I don't love that. But he's learning to make more sounds with his mouth and mimic everyone. I LOVE that part!

Haha so yes, here is proof of the sweet fits he throws and a shot of those pearly whites! I sure do love the little guy:o)
