So, November was a blur, and now Christmas is less than 2 weeks away; time slow down! This is my favorite season of the year, and seeing it through the eyes of Ethan and Carter definitely makes it fun! November's weather kept us on our toes, some days were pleasant which meant park fun, and the bitter cold days had us seeking indoor fun. We enjoyed Ethan's 3k "Indian Pow Wow" just before Thanksgiving, and then we had a great Thanksgiving with our families. December so far has been a busy and fun month for us too. We've seen Santa (C-not a fan), and we attended a walk-through Nativity (C was definitely a fan of the cookies afterwards). We are looking forward to celebrating Christmas with our families, and the boys are loving the advent calendar, adding pieces of the Nativity each day, counting down to Christmas Eve, when Baby Jesus (Jeshus according to Carter) goes in the manger. Here are a few pics from the past month...
