Santa

Gram, Thomas and I went to a craft fair and right as we walked in the door there was Santa. Free. With no line. Thomas sat on

his lap, and didn't freak out, but just seemed confused. He did get a small candy cane out of the deal which he ate through the plastic when I wasn't looking.

Gram's Visit

Right after we moved into our new house Gram came to visit. We shopped, read books, met Mimi for lunch, and she and I even got to go to a Handel's Messiah Sing-Along. We won't say who cried (oh wait, both of us...) It was a nice long visit!

Watching Daddy

Gram showed Thomas that he could move his chair over to the door to watch Daddy saw. He thought that was a pretty good idea!

First Night in Our New House

Although Brax and I had stayed there before December 5 was the first night that all three of us stayed in our new house. We're so thankful be in even though we still have projects to do!

Christmas Tree Farm

We went with Mimi, Papa & Katey to help pick out the Christmas tree. Thomas got to help Daddy cut it down and feed the reindeer something very Christmassy...BANANAS! He was actually most interested in holding the measuring stick and running around through the little trees!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving at Uncle Jim and Aunt Mary's house. Thomas got to play with cousins Emma and Charlie a lot, and cousin Jack a little. All the older kids were GREAT at sharing with "Baby Thomas" and not frustrated when he played with their toys.

Bubbles! (again)

Thomas has discovered that he can blow bubbles himself. He gets them everywhere, but he loves it so much. And I've been amazed that he can actually blow bubbles.

The Little Boy and the Tree

Papa and Mimi have a great tree in their front yard with branches that are really low to the ground. It's just Thomas' size and he loves to go in and out of the branches and play peek-a-boo.
