Florida Highlights 1

There was this hat that we kept seeing and Adam loved, so we got it.  It was a Mater with Mickey Mouse ears.  Only the Mater hat is wearing a hat of its own, a Goofy hat, and that hat has Goofy ears.  It's like a riddle wrapped in an enigma wearing Mickey Mouse ears, dressed up as Goofy.

Character breakfast with Daisy, Donald, Goofy, and Mickey.  Adam was just fascinated.

Adam got new sunglasses, too.  Arf looked super cool in them.

More photos to come!  Some other teaser highlights: Adam talks to Crush, and lots and lots (and lots) of trains!

So Emo

Adam's hair is getting a little shaggy, and he's wearing flannel over a Star Wars T-shirt today.  He's sitting somewhere between emo and hipster.

Christmas Loot

We've been having a ton of fun this weekend with Adam's Christmas gifts.  He's loving his new tool kit--especially since Mike's been putting together our new cabinets.  And we spent at least an hour today squishing things out of the Play-Doh Fun Factory.  It's great that there are still gifts to dive into; the fun of new stuff goes on and on.

....And There Goes Christmas

What an insane month.  Many lovely gifts and gatherings and people, and it's too much to recount, but I will show you some pictures of Revels.

Christmas Begins

It has begun!

Well, this is actually Adam and Daddy laying on their puppies.  You can't tell it's Christmas, but that blanket is because we had a floor picnic for supper while we watched Rudolph.  So it's holiday themed.

And then Adam and I put together a gingerbread train, which he absolutely loved.   In fact, we took it out and decorated it some more later because it was so much fun.

Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, as always, was lovely, full of delightful food and Christmas lights.  The weather was gorgeous, so we were able to spend a lot of time outside, which was a lot of fun.

 

Adam spent a lot of time hanging out with Ben and Ana.  Ana is a huge fan of little kids, and she spent a lot of time swinging an enthusiastic Adam around in circles.  I suppose 7 is too young to babysit, but she would volunteer.

She also showed Adam how to pick the berries of stray checkerberry branches...

...and throw them around.

And of course, the traditional lighting of the barn!

Birthday Follow Up

After the big Cider Day, we had a nice little Tuesday night birthday at home.  Adam was thrilled with all his gifts--the little musical guitar, the book with all the tabs that shows how machines work (now he wants an oil derrick), Jessie to go with his Buzz and Woody, a new box of Legos and a very impressive windmill.
