Noah has this weird thing he does at meal times. He always sits to my right. During in meal, he takes my right hand, usually when I'm busy with Annalise, and gives me something mushy. Today, it was a Cheerrio that had been sitting in milk for a long time.
Merry Christmas to you! I hope Santa is good to you.

Deck the Halls and other suff
I know I have been horrible updating the blog. Just be forewarned that it is a special kind of crazy around here and this thing might not be updated much until after the holidays.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my parents. My mom and I cooked the whole sh-bang, and we declared it a huge success! Noah was not so keen on the sweet potatoes but loved putting black olives on his fingers. Sadly I was so focused on getting food on the table that I forgot to take some pictures of our feast. You will just have to imagine all the gloriousness of our dinner.
Last weekend we continued our tradition of cutting down our Christmas tree. Our first year here, we found this cute little tree farm not far from here and cut our own. The last two years, I traipsed around the farm hugely pregnant. This year was only slightly easier with two little ones. Part of the fun of having two babes so close in age is trying to figure out the logistics of things. How are we going to wrangle two babies, an ax, a big cart, and a tree? We decided to take the double jogging stroller out for a drive. The whole adventure went off without a hitch. Pretty much. Both the babes were ready for a nap after our afternoon out in the cold, and fell asleep in the car. We rounded out our day with some great pizza from a local place. Noah went absolutely bonkers when he realized that the tree was going in his playroom! Noah to just get the energy to decorate!
A self portrait with Noah looking as cute as possible!
Noah picked out this ornament all on his own. I tried to suggest something a little less...(well, just less), but this is the one he wanted. Who am I to get in the way of Christmas cheer?

John, the babes, and our tree. The tree lost a lot of height when we trimmed it up.
Don't the babes look so excited about picking out our tree?
