A Very Belated Christmas

Merr-dy Christmas!

Arboretum with Nannie

We took advantage of the beautiful weather, and brought Nannie to the Arboretum for a picnic. We walked through the newest section of the gardens, and it's gorgeous!

Christmas Parade

Aunt Dee Dee and I took all 3 boys to the Christmas Parade at the beginning of December.

We had to get there super early in order to get front row seats, 

so everyone got a little cranky about 15 minutes before the parade started.

Luckily Calvin & Miles both took a quick nap, and Max snacked with his new friends until it started!

Some of Max's favorite floats were:

Curious George,

 Elmo,

Bob the Builder,

and Santa Claus!

 We had a blast! 

Ready for Christmas

 If you placed Calvin & Miles in front of the Christmas tree, they had fun pulling on the lights and branches for brief periods; but for the most part, they didn't care about it. Max, on the other hand, couldn't keep his hands off the ornaments. He thought they were a bunch of new toys for him to play with, and removed everyone within his reach - multiple times!

Daddy practiced his wrapping skills...

and Max practiced unwrapping.
