Tis the Season

Family gatherings at Drury Lane. You wouldn't think that at least another 20 people were missing.

Not impressed with the fanciness of it all

Hot chocolate helped

Half the kids missing

Making a sign for Santa

Sign and Santa landing strip ready

Snow angel

His usual position outside in this weather

"Frosty" before his carrot nose was added on

Monkey love

Our monkey

Kodak moment

Making XMas cards for his teacher and bus drivers

Expriencing new things

Causing trouble

It has started

Loving being outdoors while we put the lights up

A worker bee he is NOT. He made himself comfortable while we worked

We went to see Winter wonderland in Vernon Hills. Daniel enjoyed his first Starbucks cup of perfect temperature hot chocolate.

We loaded up on snacks and coffee for the adults. The show was amazing.

If you go on youtube you can find a couple of videos of the drive.

This picture just tickles me. It was their first time sitting in this car cart together. They were adorable together.

Our decorations are up, Luke the Elf is resurrected from a dusty box and the countdown on 3 different advent calendars has begun. Cheers to the Holiday Season. And I got my Christmas cards done, meaning printed not sent...let's not get carried away.

Farm time!

 

The most distracted child on the planet. It was hell trying to get any pictures.

I may not have a nice picture of these two for years. 25 takes and not one.

Big brother though squeezing him harder would help

Notice the yawn

He prefers solo shots

Upside down baby chicks

YUP, chopped my hair. 3 inches to be exact.
