Getting Ahead of Myself

As usual, I'm dreadfully behind in my blogging. This will NOT be covering Thanksgiving and Christmas, but those will follow.

At two and a half, we still sometimes strip Josh down for meals. It is so much easier to clean him up! Thanks for the idea Karen!

Steve is wonderful to me. He gets up with Kelsey in the night because it takes me so long to fall back asleep. I caught this picture of them one time and I think it's precious.

Mid-November, I finished Kelsey's stocking. I looked at this mess I made and realized just why I couldn't get it done with the kids awake!

Josh is a master at getting Kelsey to laugh. They are just barely getting to the point where they can play together and I love to watch them at it!

My little tiny snow angel!
Several months ago, I didn't feel like taking an extra trip to the living room just to find Kelsey a blanket, so I grabbed my soft robe and tucked Kelsey in with it. Well after that, she absolutely LOVED my robe and wouldn't sleep without it. I know it's a danger to get kids used to sleeping with a certain blanket, but it is just so darling how she sticks her thumb in her mouth and reaches her other hand out for this blanket. After a month or so of this, I cut my robe up and made it into an actual blanket.
The weekend before Thanksgiving was the annual Chicago Christmas parade, street lighting and fireworks. Steve and I braved the million people (literally) that went downtown that night and hopped on a train with our kids. Joshua LOVED the ride and what very little he could see of the parade (I believe he saw Minnie and Mickey Mouse). I didn't see anything, but it was a fun experience!

These were all the people just between us and the parade. It was crazy! Luckily, it wasn't frigid outside, so it made the experience all the more enjoyable!
