Christmas Photos part 1

The day after Thanksgiving we sought out our tree.

But we still needed to put up Great Grandma Ramsey's tree. Plus Boyd loves his Christmas trees. He was so helpful in decorating this year the process was fun and quick.

We had some snow in December

...and the aftermath of snow (the one thing the messed up on in our house was no mud room when we had asked for that as an extra but didn't notice until we were moved in)

Traditional Colonial Forge Santa Drive by.

My little Elf cozy after Church on Christmas Eve.

Reindeer food.

Writing his note to Santa.

Bright and early Christmas morning. Up at 5 but we had a no presents until 7 policy.

Sneaking candy.

Knock hockey was a gift he didn't even know he wanted but LOVES! I need to find my old skill.

I am a Cardinals fan for life but my boys thought I needed to support the hometown team.

Seriously, he thinks he is still tiny.

Halloween 2017

The pictures are all over the place chronologically but we enjoyed our Halloween season immensely. 

The haul, over 200 pieces and 10 pounds.

We love how the neighborhood comes alive!

So Boyd chose a Nordic warrior costume but Adam and I kept referring to him as John Snow from Games of Thrones so  since we had guests we because the Lady of Light, White walker, John Snow and the Mother of Dragons.

Pals that hit up one last street. 

Bob the pumpkin

 This shirt is like what dad wears when it is chilly. So here we have mini Adam

Snuggle Boyd

Harry Potter (We are on book 4)

My sunflower and I soaking up one last day at the farm.

He has been practicing and making a lot of progress. He told me last night, parents really shouldn't say practice makes perfect because no one is perfect. We decided practice makes you better is more appropriate.

Lumos

Homemade costume

We filled his shirt with corn and Boyd says, "Wow, this must be what dad feels like."

He has also been practicing and improving on his hula hooping skills.

New bike and caught on right away with the gears.

We revisited some old costumes to share with a younger friend.

Biker buddies.

While I was giving my TEDx talk in New Jersey Boyd, Adam and the girls visited National Harbor in DC.

Ferris Wheel fun!

Boosterthon fun run. Boyd had an international cheering squad: USA,  England, and Serbia.

Leaping leaves.

Boyd dominated this years field and made a big improvement on his time on this course. He ran really even and tough. Love that he loves to run.

Trunk or Treat at school was a little dark for this dragon

Seriously the cutest Harry Potter.
