An ordinary night

Sometimes it's the simple things like pizza and ice cream for dinner that make your toddler behave. Easiest night in a long time. Dinner, bath, and bed went smooth. 

Here is Max showing off his ice cream to me. It's the same mug (got to love that 80s yellow) that I ate ice cream in as a child. 

Oh, Christmas Tree

We decided to ditch our artificial tree this year and get a real tree because it seemed like a lot more fun. Well, we were half right...

Trip to the Farm in upstate New York

We made a trip to New York in early November to visit my family.  Max enjoyed the farm and it was a great opportunity for us to get exposure to the cold before the Dallas winter arrived in early December.  We were prepared (clothes-wise) for this ice storm that hit the metroplex and Max got a chance to use his mittens and boots once again.  Here is a slideshow of some of the photos that we captured on our trip.
