Other Christmas outings included our trip to Zoo Lights, which started early enough in the evening that were able to see a few animal exhibits before it was dark and enjoy the grounds all lit up after dark.

And, we really enjoyed our family trip to the Museum center which included the train displays at Holiday Junction, and a ride on the kid-only train. Choo-choo!!

Pre-Christmas Activities!

Once both of our little one's (notice one critiquing from the floor, the other helping daddy decorate) agreed the tree was trimmed to perfection they both enjoyed their first trip to visit with Santa, and of course, put in their wish lists.

The last three photos show our annual Christmas trip to Krohn Conservatory and of course include at least one of us in front of a "Poinsettia Tree".

Hope you enjoy our look back at some classic Christmas moments.

Christmastime!

"Little" Holiday Fun!
The cooking festivities kick off the day after Thanksgiving, marking the beginning of the Christmas season. "Cookie Day" held a few surprises for those of us who have been participating from the very beginning. But, new comers like these handsome little chefs really enjoyed the time with family and sneaking a few pieces of candy while their gingerbread houses were under construction. After our little guys intro to gingerbread houses at the start of the holiday season, he was sure to point them out to us wherever we saw pictures or other houses. After the marshmallow snowman and the first candycane went missing from our humble little abode, we learned to keep our house up high, and out of the reach of little fingers!!

First Big Smiles

We were getting ready for a bath, hence the bare babe, and couldn't pass up the chance to get some footage of his first big smiles (almost 3 months old).

Well, we are sadly behind on our blogging, so I am still catching you up on our Fall activities. We enjoyed a tasty brunch and then a trip to the corn maze for our cousin's birthday celebration (in mid October) and had some great Fall photo ops in these first two photos.

The third photo is a picture of our little one, his mom, and his GREAT-Grandpa!! What a treat.

Our cowboy and indian enjoyed their first Halloween together.
