books & pjs on Christmas Eve

For the last several years we have kept up a little tradition of exchanging books and pjs on Christmas Eve.  It's always fun to see the kids in new holiday pjs on Christmas morning :)

Maryn and her new snowman pjs 
Theo and his "ho ho ho" dinosaur pjs
A little light reading for all the spare time I'm going to have soon :)
Is there a chapter in this book about letting your son play with a soap dispenser?
 Maybe we should start there :)

a jolly good time at the Children's Museum

It had been way too long since our last visit to the museum!  Maryn kept seeing the commercials on tv and asking when we were going to go :)  We held out for when Jeremy was off work and had a great day!  
The water table!!
Yep...I love to splash!
Hanging out at the sand table with the big kids.  Until he decided to start eating the sand :(-
Lovin' the carousel!
Don't worry, he was happy once it started moving :)
The Yule Slide!!!

a visit to see Santa...

Maryn loved seeing Santa and was quick to tell him exactly what she wanted...a yellow bike with a helmet.  Theo on the other hand, was less than thrilled with the big guy in red :(  Oh well, the memory has been captured!

35 weeks and counting!!

Maryn keeps asking when the baby is coming and we keep saying soon, but hopefully not too soon!  Cannot believe we are at 35 weeks...it won't be much longer till we meet our little boy!!

bring on december!

Maryn got to hang the first ornament on the tree!

Theo hanging his first ornament!

Oh, I like this!

checking out the tree from underneath :)

Our tree!!
It's time to make a gingerbread house!

Let's hope they don't eat it before it's finished!!

Hard at work

Even Theo got in on the squeezing of icing!

The almost finished project :)

I've been ordering most of our gifts online so we have had a bunch of boxes come to our door.  With all those boxes of  course we needed a train!  All aboard the Maryn and Theo Express!!

our annual trip to the tree farm!

 Over Thanksgiving weekend we made our annual trip out to Piney Acres Tree Farm to pick out our Christmas Tree.  So much fun to take Theo this year for the first time (last year we had to skip the farm because he was so little).  It was actually a pretty mild day, perfect for finding just the right tree to bring home!
A quick stop to say "hi" to Santa on our way out ...Theo was less than  thrilled to see Santa :)
All loaded up in the wagon!

After much wondering, we found just the perfect tree!

Hooray!!

What can we do to help Dad??



Ok, well if you don't need our help we'll just take it easy :)

While waiting for the wagon to come back and get us we took a few pics :)





Giving thanks for so much this year!

Happy Thanksgiving!  

Yep...this is the only picture I took at Thanksgiving!  I did get a side profile of Theo, but it was quite blurry :)
