your 12th month: Christmas & Wedding

Photobucket
Your 12th month had a rough start. You got real sick with bronchitis and pneumonia :( You lost over a pound in a few days and had a temperature as high as 105! It was so sad to see your sick lil self! Thankfully Lolli and Pops were here to help and love on you and care for you!

Christmas Eve we spent with Gigi, PR, Lolli & Pops, Aunt Lauren, Uncle TJ, Piper, and the res of your Pops' side of the family! It was so fun being around family for the holidays!! Thanks Rhonda and Scott for hosting!!! We had a blast!!

We thought maybe opening your presents would make you feel better... and slowly, but surely, we finally got a lil grin/smile out of you! Thanks Lolli & Pops for all my new toys!! (he LOVES his ball pit!)

Christmas Eve night we flew to Cali to be with my family Christmas Day!

It was a relaxing morning opening up presents and loving on Parker!! Al and Pat got us an ipad (when I say "us" I mean Zach;) and "we" love it!! It was very clever in how they made us go on a scavenger hunt for the ipad though! It wasn't wrapped in the box; we were given clues/riddles to where the real ipad was hidden.

You were my favorite Christmas present!!! You're the sweetest Parker!! You loved Ginger and would follow her everywhere! For some reason the way you greet dogs is by giving them a headbutt. You are too funny!! (I think you were Grandma's favorite Christmas present too;)

Probably one of my FAVORITE pictures of you! This is when you first began standing on your own... now you're taking steps like crazy and standing up on your own all the time!!

The infamous Reid/Villaverde Christmas gathering! This years theme was "Sports Teams." But you were suppose to think outside the box. Me and Kenny were runner up to the bride of course. (Allison and Krista not pictured though.)

Parker B! You are loved, sweet thing!

You and Daddy having some fun in the hot tub! You loved it!! (I'm pretty sure Daddy did too!)
For those of you who don't know, my amazing sister, Rachel, put together a flash mob for Al and Pat's wedding reception!!! It was pretty much off the hook and the BEST flash mob ever!! AL and PAT were soooo surprised and had no idea!!! Hats off to Rachel for making this all happen!! It was such a fun and special evening celebrating Pat and Al!!!
Pat and Al Forever and Always!!!

This is Zach posting for the 1st time. Net does all of our blogging and I wanted to surprise her with this. I heard this song by Ben Rector and could not stop thinking about Vanessa. Not only because she is my wife, but because she is my best friend and I have never felt this way about anyone. The song fits perfect because we were married at the end of December. Hope you enjoy Net. Love you. The link above is a video someone made on you tube with the lyrics.

So do you remember?
With your white dress on
It was the end of December
Count the days till dawn

I never knew
That I could love someone
The way that I love you
Link
I never knew
That I could love someone
The way that I love you
I never knew
That I could love someone
The way that I love you
I never knew
I never knew

She's coming on Friday
And then the close spark
Cause its just minutes & highways
Till the one I love
The one I love
Till oh...
I never knew
That I could love someone
The way that I love you
I never knew
That I could love someone
The way that I love you
I never knew
That I could love someone
The way that I love you
I never knew
I never knew

I never knew
That I could love someone
The way that I love you
I never knew
That I could love someone
The way that I love you
I never knew
That I could love someone
The way that I love you
I never knew
I never knew, no
I never knew, no
I never knew

That I could love
That I could love
That I could love someone
That you could love
That you could love someone like me
Oh, that I could love
That I could love
That I could love someone like
That you could love someone like me
