Our Christmas, part I

Daddy's home! Christmas can begin!




So many presents...why do they all look alike?




Oh, they have the presents inside the paper!




Whew, got that one out!



But, why isn't there more tissue paper?

Our Christmas, part II

Wrapping paper is more complicated than tissue. Charlie needed guidance.



But he figured it out.




And here, the present that he really wanted to see.




Oh yeah, more presents? Who needs 'em? Charlie has his book!





I love a happy ending.

Grapevine Christmas

We went back to Grapevine for their choreographed Christmas lights/music show. We also saw Christmas characters and ate kettle korn.

In case you were admiring our winter jackets, do you remember last year?

Zoo

What trip would be complete without a zoo visit?

Here Grandma and Charlie enjoy the penguins.



Ooh, a metal elephant.




Looking through the window at the meerkats

Play Time with Grandma and Aunt Kelsey

Mom and Dad went out for their anniversary and Grandma and Aunt Kelsey babysat. Seems like they had fun!

Thanksgiving

Resting in preparation for the big meal.




Charlie samples the potatoes







Justin carves the turkey









Such a hungry boy! (Do you see those beautiful rolls?)

A Trip to the Park

All Charlie really wants to do is watch the water



But he'll tolerate other activities

Truck Fun

Charlie finally enjoyed moving on the truck, as long as his feet were tucked.



A fun toy for all :)

Tummies

One big tummy...




Two big tummies!

Blanket Ghost

Eating

"More" please




Oh, he got himself up there.

Shoes, etc

Wearing a Kleenex box for a shoe, deliberately. (Did he secretly watch The Office wedding?)

A nice shoe arrangement.

Etc

Big Box

Such a good investment

Dallas Museum of Art

We went to the Dallas Museum of Art last weekend, and Charlie quite enjoyed the art :)

Farmer Charlie

This is Charlie's Halloween costume...he's a farmer. I know, he looks suspiciously like he did earlier in the week.



but here he has a cow.
