I have been trying to find everything I can to keep Nathan preoccupied on the plane during our holiday vacation this year! So, we had to run by the dollar section at Target. I think we found a good assortment of stuff - we came back with a bag full!
We had a great weekend! Friday night, my parents watched Nathan for us overnight. It was the first night I'd ever spent away from him and as weird as it was, it was SO nice. Thank you, Mom and Dad!! We ate dinner on the patio, we watched a late movie, we slept in and went out to a late breakfast. It was a perfect day. :)
We set up an air mattress in the living room to watch a movie on this weekend and I SO need to remember this on days when it's too cold to play outside. He went ballistic on the mattress! Rolling, jumping, doing somersaults - ha! It was SO funny to watch!Y'all know that I tend to be a little nuts about Christmas. So, of course we had to go ahead and pull out a few of the decorations this past weekend - especially since we'll be with family over Thanksgiving and not able to do our normal Saturday-after-Thanksgiving setup.
I think my favorite part of this picture is the strip of tape on his shoulder. Ha! Setting up the tree was an adventure this year!
Someone found the box for the tree more interesting than the actual setting up. :)
The finished product!
SO SO SO excited that it is this time of year!! Bring on the snow, the hot chocolate, the Christmas carols and the excitement! :)What are your favorite Christmas movies/music??
My favorite christmas music right now is Micahel Buble's new christmas cd! I LOVE it! :)
ReplyDeleteFavorite Christmas music includes Michael W. Smith's CDs, Merry Christmas by Michelle Tumes, I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day by Casting Crowns, the 12 Days of Christmas by Straight No Chaser, and Christmas This Year by TobyMac. I love Christmas music.
ReplyDeleteI love the Glee Christmas Album Volume 1, the music is just so Christmassy its pretty much all I will listen to in December. Though I have the 2nd volume, its not as good as vol 1 by my standards. My parents have a agreed to let us put up the Christmas tree this weekend (my argument was it will be less than a month till Christmas) so that will be great. I love Christmas so much :)
ReplyDeleteWe're going to my in-laws for a week in December, so I talked my husband into getting the Christmas decorations out this past weekend. We are in full-fledged Christmas mode at our house now. I am also loving Michael Buble's new Christmas album. I have a LONG list of Christmas movies to watch too. I don't know if I can choose a favorite, but I am dying to watch Elf. Love the pics! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas cd is Michael W. Smith's. So good! My favorite Christmas movie is a musical called White Christmas. I don't know why, but it just means Christmas to me. I always watch it on Halloween to start the holiday season!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for letting us have Nathan for the night. It was such a fun time! It'll be even better next time when I feel back to normal. :) We love that little boy too much...and he knows it! Haha! :)
ReplyDeleteLove y'all so much! We're ready to do it again any time...
My favorite music is Joseph's Lullaby, by Mercy Me, and my favorite movies are Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too, and White Christmas, a classic in our house. :)
