Our Christmas Season...Thus Far

So this time I do have a legitimate reason for not posting in such a long time. When we took the kids trick-or-treating at some point in the night the camera fell out of Cohen's stroller and got lost. It was somewhat of a blessing in disguise though, seeing as how I've really been wanting to get a new, more high end camera for quite some time now. We ended up buying a nice Canon camera on Thanksgiving at Target and got a good deal on it. So here's a little update on some of what's been going on at our house during the Christmas season...

I think we decorated our house for Christmas earlier this year than we ever have. Here's some pictures of us putting up the Christmas tree

Meanwhile, Cohen was doing a little of this...

 and a little of that.

Addy on the other hand, loved helping out with the decorations

Cohen looks like he's being hounded by the paparazzi

And I love the face Addy is making in this picture. AWESOME!

The finished product

 You know you have a boy living with you, when you find a car parked in the manger scene! 

We went to the Hotel Del to check out their giant Christmas tree, which is also a great spot for a photo op. We told another family that we would do a picture swap ("You take a picture of our family and we'll take a picture of your family.") The Dad that took this clearly didn't know how to work our camera. Kinda funny...

Attempt #1 

Attempt #2

Success (well, kind of!)

 Addy and Ryan dancing in front of the Christmas tree. Pretty precious! 

This weekend Addy and I went to see The Nutcracker together, just the two of us. It was fun go get dressed up and go out with just the girls. We went to lunch beforehand and we both really enjoyed seeing The Nutcracker. It was a kids production of it, with kids ranging from ages 3-18 yrs. old. It was so cute and really fun to see these talented kids perform. 

It's been a very fun filled, not too stressful Christmas season so far. I hope it continues to be so. We love Christmas time!
