Twas The Day Before Christmas...

The boys "enjoying" A Christmas Story.

Quick, easy and hidden. The boys coat hooks.

Playing together.

"Baby Chill" chillin' in his sleep.

 Kevin: I poopy

Mommy: Do you want me to change you?

Kevin: No

Mommy: Why not

Kevin: cause

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

The boys trim the tree following Thanksgiving.

Kevin's 23 Month Photo.  They felt like doing number #1 for some reason. They weren't pointing to anything or anyone. 

Santa. 

Kevin is stringing words together-

Uh iss - I want this

Uh waa iss - I don't want this

They are very similar but very different.

He can also say Santa.

Nick learned a new word too- Awkward

Backup Thanksgiving

The weekend before Thanksgiving we needed to get Nick's room painted.

Nicholas helped Daddy in all of the middle sections. When he grew tired he offered to help me just a tiny bit more. Then rolled his roller once more and called it a night.
Nick picked out this water blue. Come see it in person, it is much brighter.

Geared up for painting.

It needed to be painted because the Kaspers were coming over and Nick wanted to show off his new room. Cole was Nick's best friend from the old day care. We were also old neighbors.

 Thanksgiving Dinner.
Kevin just wedged his way in there and had a good time with his cousins.

The next day we had a visit from old friends who moved away earlier this year. It was great to see the Michelottis and to see Kevin spend time with his Godfather.
