The weather did not cooperate at all, it was very wet and cold, but all of the kids had a great time!

Streaker!

After Chad's bath the other night, he refused to get dressed, but insisted on wearing his favorite hat....and now we have embarassing pictures for future girlfriends! ;)
watching mickey, holding mickey, wearing his favorite hat, all he needs is a banana and he has all his favorite things!

A Visit with Santa.....

As is tradition, we took Chad to get his picture with Santa......unfortunately, he was not interested in this tradition....poor guy.

Getting ready for Christmas!

I cannot believe how big he is getting, he looks like such a little boy running around the house!
Admiring his new ornament from Andy!

He likes to touch the tree.

I thought by putting the tree on top of the cabinet he would be unable to get it....apparently I forgot he can climb on the chair.....

His Mickey Mouse ornament Andy got for him while in California! We all know how much he LOVES mickey mouse!

He was yelling at the dog.

Playing under the dining room table...

A new sleeping method.

Notice how both feet have made their way out of the crib...silly boy.

Chad Loves Hockey!

Chad loves watching Hockey on t.v so we took him to the silvertips game on Wednesday. He loved dancing to the music and pointing at the players skating by!

Happy Thanksgiving!
