We need to buy a sled.

More Christmas Fun!

We had another busy weekend of holiday activities...here are a few pics.

Mary Beth got a haircut!

We celebrated friend Bohdan's 2nd birthday.

MB and Bohdan wishing the rain would go away!

Mmm, cake. The best part of any party.

We tried to get all of the kids to sit for a picture. Guess who didn't want to sit still?

Mary Beth is crying in this picture because she didn't want to sit down.

We went to see the parade of boats on the James River (they were much cooler in person!)

Mary Beth loved all of the boats covered in lights!

We also went to Frosty's birthday party this weekend. Kristen (Will's mom) was dressed up as Rudolph!

We had breakfast with Santa. Mary Beth asked him to color with her.

Christmas Fun!

We had a wonderful family weekend, full of Christmas activities.

On Saturday we went to pick out our Christmas tree and ended up running into Santa!

We had so much fun visiting with him.

And Mary Beth especially loved the candy cane from Santa!

On Sunday morning we decorated our tree.

Daddy and Mary Beth put the star on top of the tree.

The finished product!

Mary Beth does her rendition of Jingle Bells.

Jump, Jump!

Happy Thanksgiving!

The whole crew.

Thanksgiving chaos as Mary Beth and her counsins have a ball playing together!

The Big Race!

Weez and I ran our first half-marathon on Saturday. John ran in the 8k. Mary Beth came out to cheer us on!

The amazing sign that John and MB made for me!

So proud of our accomplishment. Mary Beth is more focused on her post-race bagel.

Family pic. Not sure what John is looking at!

Mary Beth checking out the paper on Sunday morning, looking up race results.

Jackpot! She found her mom and Aunt Weez.

All these holidays can be so darn confusing...

Telling secrets with Daddy...

Little Monkey!

A little blurry, but you get the idea!

Trick or Treat!

We went down to Williamsburg for Halloween so Mary Beth Could trick or treat with her cousins.

Getting her into her monkey costume was tough, but thankfully Thomas helped.

Banana and all!

Having fun with the three ninjas.

James looks especially menacing.

That's Conner on the left.
