jumping jungle

in the hopes of getting cole out a bit more we have been going to some events with a moms group. this week we went to jumping jungle which has a ton of blow up bouncy things and slides. cole had a great time running around like a wild man and fell asleep as soon as he made it into his car seat!

nj xmas

this weekend we celebrated xmas a little early with everyone in nj! i have been so excited about xmas with cole this year and it truly was great! he had a blast opening his gifts. as you might notice there was an outfit change half way through the gifts. he loved the toy story shirt aunt brooke and uncle jon got him and his other favorite gift was his hess race car from gram and poppy!

ginger bead house

every year there is a ginger bread house at grandma's house. it has quickly become a tradition that cole helps to make it. this year he was just overwhelmed by all the candy put in front of him!

mr. reader

every night before bedtime we follow the same routine when home. we get into our pjs and then we cuddle on the bed and read stories. tonight cole insisted on reading to me first.

tree decorating

yesterday we went to pick out our tree at the tree farm. cole is so infatuated by christmas trees so he had a good time helping up pick one out this year. he even helped to decorate the tree a bit!

santa!!

my favorite time of the year has come!! we took cole to meet santa tonight. as you can tell he wasn't too sure about him. in his defense being thrown on some strangers lap while your parents walk away probably isn't the best idea in the world to a kid. he beared it long enough though for a picture then decided to reach and call for daddy to rescue him.

wow!

he truly is a miniature brad!
