Countdown to Christmas!

Thanksgiving is over. The leaves have fallen. The cold wind is blowing. It must be just about winter time, which means... Christmas time is almost here!! This will be Adam's first Christmas of course, and Paul is more excited this year than any before. Soon we'll be stringing the lights, decorating the tree, and (maybe) shoveling snow. It truly is the most wonderful time of year!

A boy's first Christmas. Plenty of wrapping paper to eat!

Bring on the presents! As if this kid needs any more toys.

Any Christmas candy lying around here??

Ah yes, bust out the sled and lets hit the massive mountain slopes... uh... kind of.

Ready to hang the ornaments and tinsle... or just eat them.

Not sure what this thing is, but I'm ready to go... I guess.

Oh, Adam Michael.

Still no snow. No snow for sledding. No snow to jump in. No snow at all. Oh well...

Visions of sugar plums are dancing in his head... or visions of all sorts of junk he doesn't need but saw on TV and now thinks he has to have for Christmas.

Trying to get a picture of both boys together and both looking at the camera - let alone smiling - is next to impossible at this age. Oh well... it's Christmas time!! Happy Holidays!

It all falls down...

It’s already the middle of November and Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away. The time flies by. Becky and the boys have been hard at work in the yard, raking up the endless supply of leaves. But that’s a good thing, since the weather has been incredible and the fall has been beautiful around here. Check it out:

Adam thoroughly enjoyed his time rolling around in the leaves!

This seems like a good idea... let's bury our little brother in the leaves!

Just like this...

Wear a goofy hat: check. Eat some leaves: check.

Never, ever, ever a quiet moment.

Whatever, Paul.

A big hug for a little brother.

Gotta love this time of year! Bring on the Holiday Season!
