365 ~ 2013: Day 363

Since we moved away, we don't get to hang out every day like we used to, but it doesn't seem to matter because they always pick right back up where they left off!

365 ~ 2013: Day 362

Hanging out on the Cape yesterday.  Thankfully it wasn't too cold to take the boys to the local park to burn off some energy after the long car ride!

365 ~ 2013: Day 355

Hanging out at Santa's Village for the day to celebrate Owen's 6th Birthday!  We had so much fun!  It rained, but the kids did not care and it's really beautiful at night.  If you haven't been in the winter, I highly recommend it!  Happy Birthday Owen, so glad we could celebrate with you!

Getting in some sledding before the rain washes it all away.  Hopefully we still have some left for Christmas!

365 ~ 2013: Day 352

For spirit week at the boys school it was wear accessories associated with the holiday you celebrate (hats, scarfs, necklaces).  I found this Santa hat that David wore when he was 4 months old, celebrating his first Christmas!  Evan's head is clearly too big for this hat, but he insisted on wearing it!  And making silly faces as well.

365 ~ 2013: Day 349

We had an unexpected trip to NY this weekend to be with family to celebrate the life of Charlie's Great Uncle.  We heard many great stories of the wonderful life he lived, and while the circumstances were sad, it was nice to be able to see everyone.  The boys really enjoyed meeting all of their distant cousins.  On our way home today, we took a quick detour into the city to see the famous Rockerfeller Center Christmas tree.

365 ~ 2013: Day 345

David had a couple piano workshops this week, today was Drawing to the Music.  He completed his artwork that will go on display at the music school and then made this one during his free art time.  There is a story behind this painting but we got busy tonight so I'll have to add it in tomorrow!

365 ~ 2013: Day 339

Now that Evan is a "big boy" (as he puts it!), we felt comfortable setting up the train the boys got from Omi & Grampy a few years ago!  They had lots of fun making it go around the tree tonight.

Evan snuggling with his GG.



Entering this image into the I Heart Faces ~ Best Face of 2013 challenge.  There are a million more up close "faces" and portraits, I could have chosen, but I picked this one as my "best face of 2013" because it was a tender moment shared between a great grandson and his great grandmother.  These are the moments that make me want to be a better photographer.  This is a treasured memory that my son will have forever!

Today we ventured out in the rain to see the Christmas parade!  At least it wasn't freezing like last year.  I'd rather have the drizzle!

Thankful for amazing days!  My sister took the kids for a sleepover so that I could go see Catching Fire this afternoon with my cousin Pattie and then go out for a dinner date tonight with Charlie!  And the icing on the cake was leaving the restaurant and seeing the first snow of the season!

Thankful for friends who love to cook as much as I do and who share their delicious recipes!  Thankful that I'm able to make those recipes and not have to worry where that food is going to come from.  And right about this time of year, I'm also thankful for the double oven.
