The Holiday Season

I feel like the holiday season completely got away from me this year. I think I was in a daze. There are so many things I didn't do. Like Christmas cards . . . which is something I totally love doing! Any of you mind getting Valentine's Day cards instead? Because that's what I'm thinking . . . and I'm getting kind of excited about the idea. Hmm.

Anyway, here are some pictures of our festivities over the last month or so.

We got together with some friends on Thanksgiving morning for our first annual Turkey Trot. It was FREEZING, but a great way to start the day.

Grandpa E. came along . . .

When we went to see my mother-in-law in the hospital, we made sure to get out of the waiting room and do something every once and a while. 

Thank goodness for the ipad. I don't know that the boys would have been so good in the waiting room without it.

Hanging out with Grandpa (and our new cousin, Kason). Grandpa rarely left the hospital, but he did come spend some time in the waiting room with us.

Squish loved Grandpa from the moment he met him. In fact when we got there and came out of the airport, he immediately reached up to a Grandpa he had never met and sat in his arms smiling. 

Back home and back to normal. This is Peter's preschool class doing their Christmas program.

I loved watching Charlie fill out his Christmas card to his teacher. Watching him write makes me happy.

A snowball fight and Grandma S's house.

Twas the night before Christmas. The boys got to open their presents from each other on Christmas Eve.

Loving the snow.

And now that the holiday season is over, it's time for birthday season. And it starts earlier in 2013. I can't believe this little guy turns ONE next week!
