Santa drive-by

Santa, Frosty and Rudolph made their annual drive through the neighborhoods of Leesburg with the local fire department and we were excited! Even though Santa was taking forevvvvvver.

Owen and Grace stayed up, waiting for the roaring sirens signaling he was near. After two nights of waiting and changed routes,

Santa was here!!

Oh, the excitement!

Grace yelled, "No! NO! No Danta!" And Owen gave this little wave.

They loved it, I swear!

Feeling festive

Feeling merry and bright, we set off for a festive evening of a living nativity, coffee, hot chocolate, holiday tunes, and Christmas treats.

Fa la la la la!

And ended up with a night of traffic, winding dark roads through VA horse country, urgent calls for a bathroom, the realization that GPS thingys really ARE a good investment, and a puker. Tis the season!

Santa!

We made a visit to see Santa at the fire department and Owen was psyched... though slightly more so about the trucks once he'd given Santa his "request".

Grace was excited about Santa from a safe distance, waving "Hi Danta!". But once we got close, she lost it. Here we plopped her in his lap, where she sat, frozen in fear. Ho ho ho!

Uncle Connor visits

Over Thanksgiving Uncle Connor came to visit! Owen was especially thrilled. Apparently, he is better at basketball than both Mommy and Daddy AND likes Batman.

We had a nice visit- even if Owen woke him up a little too early- and look forward to seeing him again soon!

Leaves are F-U-N!!!

Happy Friday!

Owen is 4!!

Wishing our sweet boy a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!! It's hard to believe he is 4 years old!

Have a super birthday, Owen! I have a feeling it'll be filled with all your favorite things. We love you to the moon and back!
