Dinner at Greydon's House

We had dinner last night at Noah's friend Greydon's (and his parents') house. Same crowd as usual. We like doing this monthly dinner with the kids thing. Of course, my pictures all came out badly as usual (I so want a new camera).

Setting Up The Christmas Tree

Last weekend, we put up our Christmas tree. This is the first time Darren and I have gotten one (despite doing an ornament exchange with my sister and brother-in-law for the last several years). It was my first Christmas tree ever except for one year when I lived with my friend Patty. It was Darren's first real Christmas tree ever. I'm proud to say it has been a week and it is still standing and doesn't look dead (amazing as neither of us is a "plant person" to say the least. Noah is really excited about it. He points at it all the time and tries to say tree.

Here are the guys setting up the tree. Noah seems more interested in our lamp.

The final product.

A Real Haircut

We took Noah on Saturday for his first real haircut. I've trimmed the back once more, but this one was legit. He did a great job, and didn't seem at all afraid.

Thanksgiving

Noah had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Fortunately, his pink eye was all cleared up by Monday evening of Thanksgiving week. So, Tuesday afternoon we went to the soft play room at the Lee District Rec Center. Noah LOVED it, especially the ball pit. Of course, I forgot to bring my camera, so no pictures. Then on Wednesday, my friends Anne and Jud and their son George came to visit us. We were having so much fun that I forgot to take pictures. They live in Rhode Island, but were down visiting family for the holiday, so we do not get to see them often.

Noah's Grandmoo, Grandpa and Aunt Sue came down late Wednesday night, so Noah did not see them until Thanksgiving morning. Here are some pictures from our time with them. Notice there is no picture of Noah eating a big Thanksgiving meal. That's because he wouldn't eat any of it... typical. Chicken nuggets on Thanksgiving for this one.

Here he is showing off his driving skills.

This is the post for stackable soft toys... not sure why Noah thought it would be good to eat.

Hanging with Uncle Myles

Grandpa is reading Noah a story.

Going for a ride with Grandmoo.

If you ask Noah "what does a tiger say?" he will open his mouth wide and make a whispery growl. That's what he's doing here.

Here's Noah hanging out with his Aunt Sue.

And, of course, he had to prepare for Black Friday shopping (No, we did not do that).

Lining Up the Cars

It must be a boy thing... he just loves parking his cars and moving them around.

A Tough Couple of Weeks

Noah has been sick off and on for the last few weeks (hence, not a lot of new pictures). First he had what I now think was roseola, then a stomach bug, then the weekend before Thanksgiving he came down with pink eye. All the cool kids in daycare were getting it apparently. Fortunately, the eye drops the doctor gave him worked like a charm, and by Monday evening he was good to go.
