Visitors

Aunt Christy, Uncle Mike and Gabriel came to visit yesterday. Ben had SO MUCH FUN playing with his cousin! They gave Ben a play tent for Christmas and the boys had a blast playing in it. It was hard to get a good picture of them because they were in constant motion. We went out to dinner and then Gabriel helped me get Ben ready for bed. Ben had fun playing in the tent this morning, but it wasn't the same without Gabriel.

Basketball!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We were very disappointed that we had to cancel our trip to New Jersey for Thanksgiving due to Ben's cold/croup. I ended up going to the grocery store this morning and getting everything I needed to make Thanksgiving dinner for us. It turned out pretty well and as we predicted, Ben loves Thanksgiving food!

Santa ( a little early)

So Ben and I were at the mall this week and we saw that Santa was already out taking pictures. Since there was no line and we don't go to the mall very often, I figured we might as well take the opportunity to get Ben's picture taken with Santa. As we were walking up to him Ben was happily babbling away(I think he liked all the decorations) and he was fine when Santa started to talk to him. But as soon as I put him on Santa's lap he started squirming around and was generally very unhappy. I think he looks very concerned in the picture. My caption was "Does Daddy know we're doing this?" but I also liked Josh's suggestion, "Does Santa know I'm Jewish?".

Legos

We put Ben's legos away about a month ago because he was playing with his foam blocks more. I brought them back out earlier in the week because he was getting bored with his toys and since then he has discovered how to put them together. I wonder if we have a future CJ on our hands?
