Tis the Season!!

to be Jolly!!!!  We had multiple sightings of Santa but Gia won't go anywhere near him and Jack would only sit on his lap when we went to "Pizza with Santa"
We went to the Arbutus tree lighting and watched Santa come in on the firetruck with Francesca and Anna! They also had a moon bounce and lots of crafts!

 

 Our annual trip to the Clarksville tree lot - mama picked the perfect tree this year!

 14 foot tree!!!!

 Gia is so crazy, she enjoyed breakfast with Santa with the O'Malleys at Resurrection...

 Jack and El <3 br="br">

 El is the only one who actually sat on his lap!

 Gia liked looking at him from afar :)

 We ran into Gigi, one of Jack's classmates

 His favorite part....

 

 Gia loves pushing the snowman to make him sing!

 rockin her Christmas jammies!

 Our crazy Elves, Mr & Mrs. Elvis are always getting into something!

Last weekend we went to Station 2's train garden then to Pizza with Santa

 Gia loved the trains!

 they wore her out :)

 Ella made herself comfy on Santa's lap!

Thankful!

We are Thankful for a great family, lots of awesome friends, our good health (minus the nastiness Gia has managed to pick up this year :)), our jobs, so many things to be thankful for everyday!

This year we switched things up and went to Nana and Pops' first then on to Aunt Dana's and Uncle Don's for dinner. It was a beautiful day!

the pilgram and the Turkey head!

 

 Jack ate 2 huge plates of mashed up thanksgiving goodness!! He wanted turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing and gravy. Then he mixed it all up! yummy! Daddy completely disagrees :)

 love!

 

 

 

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

We'll take it!!

Hopefully it's not the last of the beautiful fall weather but, we'll take it!! We had a great weekend enjoying the fall weather. It also happen to be a long weekend for Mama and Gia! Jack had his friend Froggy from school come spend the weekend with us so we took him everywhere :)
We enjoyed the dinosaur playground, a fall fest at Shannon and John's and Kacy's 6th birthday at the Baltimore Yacht Club!!

Gia is a riot when she is excited....she just runs and screams with her hands in the air! 

This is how she ran around the playground on Saturday....

 

 

 Jack and Froggy with static in their hair from the slide!

 Aunt Shan and Uncle John have the coolest tree swing, 

El and Jack would have stayed on it all night if we let them!

 

 Kacy had a face painter at her birthday party, how cool!!!

 

 More fun on the playground at BYC....

 Daniel and Gia

 Seth and Cate

Congratulations Uncle Joey & Aunt Kristin!!

Uncle Joey finally made it official to call Ms. Kristin, Aunt Kristin!!!! We had a blast and wish them a lifetime of happiness!!!

The wedding was at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club on Kent Island. Daddy and Jack were part of the wedding so, we headed over there Friday for the rehearsal. Jack was very excited to stay in a hotel for the first time!  Molly and Renee were also a part of the wedding - they had a ball as you will see from the pictures!
