Yeay! December!! Our tree has been up since the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Christmas tunes have been playing since around then, too (thanks 94.5 FM). I'm pretty excited for the holidays this year because it will be the first time I'll get to spend it with my family since 2009 (I think). Regardless, the house is decorated, everyone's got a stocking and we're ready for a great time! Here's a quick look at our weekend. Good times had by all -- though the rain totally ruined a nearly 60 degree day today (ugh).
Friday was great. I left work at 4 so I could meet Jace for a mini date night. We classed it up and swapped out our usual "got out of work early let's grab a bite/drink" spot from Buffalo Wild Wings to TGI Fridays...WHAT? WHAT?
Friday night toothbrushing inspired Mommy & Daddy
to cut Little Homie's hair the next morning. So we did.
Saturday:
On Saturday afternoon, post haircut, the Budweiser Clydesdales were at the
Museum so we headed over for a quick visit. He talks about "neigh, neighs"
all the time so we thought he may like to meet one.
Nope. Get this kid a Sun City West address...
No "neigh, neighs" gimme the Bud car.
Just tell yourself he's smiling and having a grand 'ole time
They also have airplanes on display outdoors so we took a stroll
down to the C-17 and back. It was lovely and the people watching couldn't be beat.
Check out his big boy haircut! He looks so old
Yes, this is edited. I love my little Snapseed program.
On the way back I caught a beautiful sunset over top of this C-130.
So bummed about Joe Rando in this shot :(
After a family dinner @ Milano's it was home
for a few more minutes of play time...
...a bath...
...some sweet doggy kisses and then bed!
BEWARE, this one's long :)
After the kiddo was down I finally got to read my first Click magazine published by ClickinMoms. Totally loving this community and the magazine had a fabulous article on tips and tricks to incorporate myself into some of our family photos. The article was inspiring and luckily my sweet parents sent me a tripod for my birthday so I'm now on a mission.
Sunday:
Me. Blogging with a good friend. I love him the most during winter.
Early morning "moo" session. iPad = moo in this house. Well more like
"moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo...." until he gets it. A+ parenting, I'm sure
See!? how can you turn down that face? Hopefully he can read by the
time he enters kindergarten (or whenever kids learn to read?)
Used the couch for a tripod on this one. I love this picture!!
It was rainy today so there wasn't too much to do besides practice our "ready, set, gooooos" with Daddy...
And play with a box of Cheerios...
No one saw this coming did they? Sadly I didn't and the look on Jace's
face was priceless. I'm pretty sure he was thrilled to have married me
in that moment :)
Fa, la, la, la, laaa...la, la, la, la. Christmas decorating came a bit early this year but we wanted to be adequately prepared for Uncle Jeff's arrival tomorrow -- and also, Easton is lovin' him some Christmas...and Santa...and talking about presents...which, in turn, allows us to talk about him being good for Santa and said presents. "No, Mom, I got this" I obviously got dressed up for the occasion...honestly, as long as the Christmas tree hat is on I could care less what I'm wearing. :) A quick little stroll down memory lane. Love you, Gramie! E putting his "First Christmas" ornament up Just a little nostalgia -- this is the chair we did all his monthly shots in And a bonus shot (thanks for sticking around so long). Little man's toe nail is no where to be found. So strange. You're welcome, E. Love, Mom.
We just got back from Trunk or Treating at Easton's daycare...how flippin' fun (and pretty roarsome as Henry Hugglemonster would say). Mr. Blondie waiting for the trunk or treating to begin! Still figuring out that the chocolate must be unwrapped first. No hurry to explain :) Homeless Lion with a Market Basket bag. Score one for the parents. Some pretty creative pumpkins!
Considering the World Series may come to a conclusion soon I figured I should get these photos up while baseball's still being played. Though he's not throwin' from the mound with his left (yet) he is definitely a natural left-hand batter. Daddy and Grapes are stoked.
