Photo Catch-Up

Life has been a little hectic recently, so here's a giant, random posting of photos from the past month to catch everyone up:

Daniel washing his own dishes (as I attempt to quickly wash mine and keep his "helpful" hands out of my dishwater).
We had a lovely Thanksgiving with Matt's parents and Erin's family. Daniel was thrilled to be with his counsins and barely stopped moving or talking the whole time we were together. Here's me snuggling with Liz on the couch.
Olivia is growing up so fast. I'm blessed to have two wonderful neices. Miss you, girls!

We went to our local greenhouse to pick out a Christmas tree this year. When we got there, we were greeted by a team of horses who took us on a ride through the woods. We then went inside and had cocoa and cookies. Such a fun family outing.

We spent a lot of time scanning the trees and finally decided on one labeled "Charlie Brown."
All decked out for Christmas!


Mom came to visit for a couple of days this past week.
Here's Danny keeping score for us during our Scrabble game. :)

Daniel has been a little obsessed with trains these days. He's completely captivated by the Thomas and Friends episodes. He has been pretending all of his toys are trains and absolutely goes nuts if we see or hear a live train. Here he is making a train out of our shoes.
Gpa and Gma "La" just delivered his Christmas present tonight...a train set! I can't remember the last time I saw him so excited.
He usually requires constant interaction, but tonight he actually played by himself ("Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles!")!! He was so focused. This toy could be a life saver with baby #2 arriving soon.

Speaking of the baby, here's my latest baby bump photo. Three more weeks!
