Holiday review...

Our Christmas tree!! And check out our adorable Santa countdown calendar...a big, special thanks to our MA cousins for that! :) BC can hardly wait for Dec. 1 to get his first Hershey's kiss!

BC quickly lost interest in decorating and decided it was way more fun to play with the Christmas train instead!

Daddy helping him hang one of his favorites...a race car!

My 2 babies... sweet as can be!

Part of the Thanksgiving crew! BC looks like he's about to get into some trouble with that spoon...

The self-portrait... check out those blue eyes on my man! :)

My pretty Mama (the hostess with the most-ess) and me! :)

2 silly sisters...aren't they cute?!?!

Bear Cub hanging out with Uncle Gene - in the kitchen, of course! :)

Hi all! Well, here we are...on our way to Christmas now! I can't believe it...although we are fully decorated here and shopping for Bear Cub is D-O-N-E. This year was so easy to choose things for him, because basically, as long as it's a toy...he LOVES and WANTS it. :) Christmas is going to be so fun for him (and us!) this year!

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving at my mom's...having a fairly quiet celebration with my aunts and uncle. We had beautiful weather, delicious food, and best of all, a wonderful family to be with. I really am continuing to remember all that I am thankful for and all of the great things we have in our life. I need to do that all year long, and not just at this time of year. :)

It was so nice to have Daddy Bear home for a long weekend, too! We did some shopping (even venturing out on Friday with Mimi Bear for a bit) and also got a lot done around the house. We have a big patio/paver project in the works here, so Daddy got a lot done in the yard in preparation for the big task of putting in the pavers. I'm excited to have a place to put our outside table and chairs! :)

Well, just the usual here for us this week. Enjoying our nice weather, school on Tuesday and Thursday, and a play date with friends. This weekend Bear Cub will have the chance to meet Santa here in our community and do some fun activities too, so that will be fun (Or scary?? He's a little iff-y on the big guy).

Have a great week and let the countdown to Christmas begin! :)
