I think these pictures tell it all. Blake faired pretty well this christmas thanks to his grandmas (and grandpas and aunts and uncles too!) This is what we came home with after Blake's first christmas in Springfield/Clements. Note: This picture does not include what Santa or Mom and Dad gave him!
Santa made a stop at the Tauer Christmas this past weekend. Zander was so excited when Santa got there he made the announcement that Santa was there - but it was really Hoover. Luckily the other little kids were so excited they didn't hear him say it (although most of them wouldn't know who Hoover is anyway). However all of us got a good laugh! At any rate, this was Blake's first time meeting Santa and he wasn't quite sure what to think! Santa brought him a box of rice cereal that we'll have to try in a few months!
Almost all of the Tauer great grandchildren with Santa:
Zander, Bentley, Makya, Katrina, Katelyn, Colin, Calen, Hattie, Drew, Jaden and Blake
Uncle Sam even got a gift from Santa, and got to show the little ones how to sit on Santa's lap.
Blake also got to meet the boys of summer! His second cousins that were all born before him this year...Bentley, Calen, and Drew. I love this picture of them checking out the new guy!
One can only imagine what these kind of trouble these two will get into someday! :) Chace was born exactly 1 month and 1 day after Blake. This week Blake turned 2 months and Chace turned 1 month. They are already growing wayyyy too fast! 
Blake's first wrestling experience was his uncle sam's first varsity tournament. We are having lots of fun following sam's wrestling career this year!
I'm so happy I've been able to be home with Blake through the holidays. While we were hanging stockings and decorating the tree, I thought it would be a good time for a quick "baby's first christmas photo shoot" :)
This is starting to get old, mom....
More pictures? Are you serious?
Today is Brandon's Birthday so Blake and I decided to send him a birthday text message picture. It took us a few tries to get a good picture and I thought they were funny so I thought I'd share:
