It is December!

Wow, I can't believe how quickly December has come and *almost* gone.  Time flies when you're having fun right?  Something like that.  We are almost all ready for Christmas and Santa, just a few more things on the list.  We've been staying busy with Christmas parties, play dates, sickness, you name it.  And then of course there's the snow, how exciting!  Looking forward to seeing everyone over the holidays, and I can't wait to watch Eli open his presents on Christmas morning.  I wonder what Santa will bring?  ;)


Eli loves laying under the tree and looking up at the lights.

Not sure what was going on here, but it must have been surprising!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for, I don't even know where to start.  So many of our friends have lost loved ones recently, it just really makes you realize how blessed you are to have your health.  And with the economy the way it is and people losing jobs left and right, of course we are thankful for both our jobs.  Even though things are tight, we can pay the bills and get the things we need.  We are super thankful for our amazing friends and family.  I don't know what we'd do without you guys! 

We spent our Thanksgiving at the beach, which has become our little family tradition.  We had a great time, Eli was on his best behavior for most of the trip.  The weather was nice with the exception of one day, and we were even able to spend a couple of hours with Dad and Katherine.  We visited the aquarium and Ft. Macon, and of course Eli's favorite playground.  He asked to go to the park at least once a day!  Saturday was the Christmas parade, but Eli was getting pretty worn out by that time so he wasn't as excited as I'd hoped he would be.  Of course a sucker helps :)
