Happy December!

We had a fabulous week of our "staycation" at home:)  Instead of traveling for Thanksgiving, we decided to spend a week here in Connecticut.  Some of the highlights of the week include:

• a great Thanksgiving dinner with turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, rolls, cranberry salad, and a Paula Deen chocolate pie!!!  It was delicious and even Aiden loved it (minus the sweet potatoes-more for mommy and daddy)!!
• a visit from the Amorino family:)  Liz went to high school with Chris and me.  She was in the area visiting family and we were lucky enough to have her, her husband, and three kids come visit for a night!  We had lots of fun and it was great to catch up:)
• a very cold trip to cut down our Christmas tree-it is in the house, decorated, and all ready for the holidays!  We also added some lights outside for the first time...good job Chris:)
• Daddy's first trip to the public library!!  Too bad, he didn't quite make it through the express book that he checked out:)
• I enjoyed a little extra free time and some mornings at the gym-it was so nice to get there before 8:30 pm.  
• Most of our week was spent around the house, enjoying time as a family, and that's why I am thankful for the time that we had together!

What a mess!!  But he loves those blackberries:)

Can we say A Christmas Story?

Smiles for Daddy!

My three boys:)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

So check this out...little Aiden is now Houdini!  He took off his diaper and removed it...all while still wearing his one piece outfit:)  

Obsessed with his chair-he loves to stand and climb in and out of it!
