Some Christmas Photos

It was fun to spend time with so many people in our family!

Also, our Claire Bear started crawling on Christmas Eve night!

First Dentist Visit

Charlie did great at his first appointment today!

Bowling

We went to the cities to see Carly and Samone (who flew in from Seattle) yesterday.  Fun times!  Wish they lived closer so we could see them more often!

 

Dual-Purpose Toy

Money.  Well.  Spent.

9 Months!

She is finally motivated to move (almost crawling), cutting her top two front teeth, eating more big girl food, grabbing everything and still waking up once or twice a night.  Happy 9 months Claire!

Kids make Christmas more fun!

Pajama Night with Santa

Charlie let Santa know he wants a gun (for deer hunting) for Christmas. Claire didn't cry.  Our visit to the questionable mall Santa was a success!

As we were leaving Charlie said, "Hey!  Where's my gun???"

Decorating

We decorated the house this weekend.  Only 24 more days until Christmas!

Daddy's Girl

Santa's Hat

Charlie and I went to Target to pick up a few things and we saw one Santa hat laying on top of some wrapping paper.  Charlie said, "Mom!  It's Santa's hat!  I gotta get it back to him!"

I couldn't walk out of the store without it after that.

8 Months!

Our little Dracula is 8 months today!  We're calling her that because she doesn't have her top two front teeth in but she's getting a tooth on each side of those.  

 "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!"

Bathtub Artists

Just a cute picture...

"As Long As I Got My Suit and Tie"

This is what Nick looks like without a Phish t-shirt on (shocking, I know)...

Thanks to his new position I get to see him get spiffed up once in awhile now. 

Nick's First Day!

I like to make Nick pose for a picture before he goes to his first college class of the year.  I think this is cute, clever and funny.  He does not.

Halloween

What a fun night!  We started the night trick-or-treating at Grandma Virginia's and Rosemary's.  Then we ate a pumpkin pizza and trick-or-treated around the neighborhood with Charlie's friend, Eli.  We ended the night at home handing out candy and Harper stopped by!

More Fall Fun

We baked and frosted cookies and carved pumpkins this morning.  Charlie is pretty excited to go trick-or-treating on Thursday!
