Christmas Morning

Layla & Maddux

Bad Santa

Uncle Billy was the best! He dressed up as santa claus for maddux and everyone enjoyed it...

Maddux is gonna be home schooled so some punk-kid with low self esteem doesn't blow his christmas beliefs like Jared did for me in 2nd grade at Elm Grove Elementary...

Are you reading this Jared? Probably not, Jared cant read!! Ha Ha loser... look at you now!

"Four Sisters"

RISKY BUSINESS!!!

Merry Christmas from "The Dasenbrooks"

 

AUNT AMBER TANZILLO and her first visit to Baltimore!



































































Well, maddux, when amber arrived at the airport we drove back to our house! When we arrived to park on the street, there was a man sprawled out on the ground... UNCONSCIOUS!!!! We called 911 and the ambulance came... It looked like he had been mugged... WELCOME TO BALTIMORE, "the city that reads and mugs people by our house"


Maddux, you and Aunt Amber had a great time together. She took all of these pictures of you with her digital camera. Maybe one day Amber will show you how to drink Long Island Iced teas!

Amber helped raise you while mommy and daddy went out to a fancy dinner (i let your mother supersize her dinner)! It was the first meal we ate together without you in a restaurant... We missed you, but the other people sitting next to us sure didnt!

More fun in Rockford! We went to the discovery center museum and played in the cabinets. Maddux made good friends with Zep and I think Zep was just as sad as everyone else to see Maddux leave!

Maddux First Bday party in Rockford! The theme this time was Winnie the Pooh! Another of Maddux favorites! The cake smeared all over the face was something we will see again!

The adults got to eat Norm's world famous chili whose secret ingredient is a closely held secret only known to a few people (we are not allowed to all travel in the same airplane at the same time)

One word: "Lady Killer!" 

Maddux really enjoyed sledding; We went in Kewanee and Rockford! GO BEARS! 

Maddux, you have some strange interests. First, you love the fridge; if we could decorate your bedroom as a refrigerator, you would be in heaven (daddy would like to keep your room the temperature of a fridge after getting the heating bill!)

Other strange things maddux likes:
-Pot Holders and oven mitts
-Mommy's bracelets
-Cell phones
-Fake fruit, especially fake lemons
-paper towels
-remote controls
-taking cd's out of the jewel case and smashing the cd on the floor (esp my pearl jam cd's)
-dogs, especially zeppelin and Layla
-bananas (real ones)
-shoes
-cupboards
-Uncle Billy

I put this picture in to show how far my beautiful wife Michele has come... Remember Pre-Maddux when you would come to our house? Michele would make you take off your shoes and then hook you up to a pulley system so you never actually touched the ground and then she would chase you around with a dustbuster!

Now, there is orange jello (great-grandma carol dasenbrook used to make gallons of the stuff for all the dasenbrook grandkids) ALL OVER THE FLOOR! 

Now look here, I am Maddux and I will not watch Desperate Housewives. My favorite TV show is "24"! Jack is back on January 15th! 

FOOD COMA!!!!!

Maddux, Aunt Amy (her husband is uncle mike tanzillo) helped care for you after your binge. Aunt Amy is your Godmother and she is responsible for your christian upbringing. I anticipate she will have her hands full.

Here she is whispering bible verses in your ear. My favorite is Matthew 25:36: "I was ill and you cared for me" 

Is that goatee smurf? Maddux loved his cake and ate a lot of it... Initially he was extremely hyper which was quickly followed by FOOD COMA!

Maddux, mommy and daddy were at Quinton and Riley Quaggliano's first birthday party and they came to yours too! 

Anybody recognize that caterpillar from Baby Einstein?

Maddux sure did and he went to town at Grandma and Grandpa Tanzillo's 1st birthday bash! Everyone who was anyone was there!

Maddux scored a lot of thoughtful gifts... aint it cool to be the FIRST grandkid... (your mom and dad were the first too!)
