This week we had a fun adventure to cut down our Christmas tree! We headed to Cackler Family Farms in Delaware, it’s where we went last year too. It was a relatively warm day (for December!) and after a short walk we settled on an 11′ Canaan Fir.

It’s been a busy week but in the end we were able to get the tree decorated and most of the Christmas decorations up. Kevin has had a grueling week of work, working through the night on two occasions. You’ll see the photo of him with his overnight bag in the mix below! Things should setting down this coming week we hope!

Griffin continues to be on the move.  He loves to have free range and will often crawl to the first dog bone he sees. He thinks they are amusing and often crawls with it in his hand to go visit the girls. He enjoys spending time in his play yard. In fact, he kept himself entertained for almost an hour and a half one evening while I put the lights on the tree. He has been opening and playing with books a lot lately and he loves the music table and talking Elmo.  He is eating really well, often having food two or three times a day. He is always interested in what we are eating and so far we haven’t found anything he won’t eat. His favorite right now is butternut squash with bananas a close second.

The pictures can tell the rest! And here are a couple of photos from our first snowfall, or at least the first of any significance!
