Twas the weeks before Christmas

I really want to catch up before I upload pictures from Christmas so this is what to did to get ready for Christmas:
Of course we had to decorate. Eric liked the stockings the best:

This picture is kind of gross but funny. Eric was the first to get a nasty cold right after Thanksgiving. It passed through everyone hitting Mitch and Nate the hardest. So, to get ready for Christmas we all had to get better! This picture was taken after dinner when Eric was sick. He had to wife his nose several times and this was all the tissues he ended up having around him: Poor guy.

The holidays are so busy so some Sunday afternoon naps were definitley a prereq. to get ready for Christmas:

What is Christmas without snow? Well, we didn't have a white Christmas but it did snow a week of so before. Granted it melted the same day but Eric was pretty excited. He just had to get out and play in it.

Christmas adventures coming soon!
