The most wonderful time of the year!

A lot of exciting things have been going on this month! First off it was Marks birthday on the 4th and he actually graduated from school on the same day! I couldn't be more proud of him so we had to throw him a surprise party to celebrate! Thanks to everyone who kept it a secret and for coming! Its not every year that you graduate and have a birthday on the same day!

Caden and I couldn't be happier that we get all the extra time to spend with him now!

All the kids were excited too... mostly Nora (the one getting ready to eat the pineapple)

We are all excited for this holiday season... for some reason it crept up on us this year. It came so fast we didn't even have time to buy a tree... I know it is not quiet the same without a tree in the house for Christmas but with our Christmas tree history we didn't think it was worth having a dead tree again. I figure I'll look for a fake one after Christmas! But our shopping is done and the snow has come so we couldn't be more ready now... Mostly now that our dance recital is over I have time to enjoy my days warm inside with hot chocolate and Caden... Life is good!
As for our little man... he is growing up so fast! I just want to snuggle him so tight some days but he would rather move and stand now... so I miss my little snuggles! But we get to have more fun now, he loves to talk and when someone sings he tries to sing as well. He watches ninja turtles with Mark on Saturday mornings! I also love when he tries to get his pinkie back in his mouth all by himself, and he still LOVES bath time! Things are good around here... just looking forward to the holidays... Wishing everyone the best! Thanks to the Josie's for his sweet Christmas PJ's! We love them so much! We also couldn't get enough of the ornament they made of him! We love them and miss them all so much and want to wish them all a very merry Christmas!
