November and part of December

Here are some highlights leading up to Christmas. :)

Joshua and Colin snuggling in the morning

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit for Thanksgiving this year.  Unfortunately, there was a lot of sickness around the house and we didn't seem to capture many images including no family picture.  Hopefully we will next time they visit.  We did manage to get in a fun outing to San Francisco on a beautiful day.

We have instituted the nightly bedtime story routine with the little boys.  Every night Daddy reads a story or two to all three boys.  LOVE the chair in a half we got for this exact purpose.

McEwen boys

Our friends, the Morgans, had a cookie decorating party and we all made it out to Alameda to attend.

Colin and Daddy ready for the Gator game

Kevin, his sons and his mom came over to watch the game too

Even Joshua was wearing Gator gear.  Given that he insists on choosing his own clothes, Daddy must have been pretty perswasive.

Hello Mr. Elmo.

Colin thinks Daddy is funny

A few weeks before Christmas, we took the boys to meet Santa Claus.

Colin lasted quite a while in his infant seat while we waited

Joshua was all smiles until we actually got to Santa and then he wasn't so sure.

Joshua got brave enough to tell Santa he wanted train tracks for Christmas.
