Breakfast with Santa, 2008

After some shyness, a lot of careful consideration, a little help from Daddy, and a few candy canes...Nathan agreed to see Santa this morning! He managed even to have a short conversation with the jolly 'ol fellow! He then spent the rest of the morning wondering aloud "where ARE the reindeer?"

Oh Christmas Tree!

Nathan's first picture with his baby sister!

Nathan-he's what's for dinner...

Thanks for helping me with dinner, buddy. Much appreciated!

Pure Silliness

What's a dinosaur say??? ROAR!
The reason why we'll never need to call Maury: Yankee T-shirt, stuffing a taco in his mouth!

Fun with my cousins!

Emma never misses an opportunity to pose for the camera!

Happy Halloween!

First we had to gut the pumpkins....
ewww...squishy...

A little attention whoring for me...cupcakes that I made for the daycare Halloween party:

And the cutest little bad ever!

getting ready for trick or treat...Nathan spent nearly two hours charming all the neighborhood out of their candy. He loved every last minute of it-and now that he's in bed...Mom & Dad are enjoying it too! (he'll never notice the missing candy...) =)

Happy Halloween!!

Leaves!

Just some fun pictures taken while Nathan helped his Daddy with some yardwork...





and taking a little break for some swinging!
