Nothing much to report. The holidays are still coming too quickly and I haven’t come close to finishing my shopping, but I refuse to stress over it Erin and I had a night out last night and we we able to purchase gifts for the kids in record time. Erin thought we might want to press on and finish up the rest of our shopping, but I convinced her to punt on that plan and enjoy a couple cocktails and dinner out instead
No one has to get Cole into the Christmas spirit. Erin snapped this pic of Cole eating ice cream with his Santa hat on.

Mom started the tradition of getting us kids a new ornament each Christmas that represented something from the past year. Erin and I have continued the tradition and bought the kids their own trees (Ian and Nathan share one and Cole has his own) that they can decorate with their ornaments. Here are a few shots of Nathan and Ian decorating their tree.

And last week mom and Amanda came over for dinner to celebrate mom’s 46th birthday (give or take a decade). Happy Birthday mom!

Nothing puts you into the holiday spirit quicker than a light snow on the first day of December. I made two trips to the storage unit to pick up all of the holiday decorations, but went outside first to snap a few shots of the kids enjoying the snow.

Enjoy the season!
