Preparing for Christmas


These last few days we've spent preparing for Christmas. We went to a very nice Christmas brunch at Jen, Al and Luc's house Sunday morning, and the Christmas tree is in place. Unfortunately, Liam pulled it down over himself this morning and scared both Jason and me half to death. He was ok yet a bit shaken. Now we've secured it so it can't fall down.

On a more pleasant note, this is a very fun time in Liam's language development. I feel like he says a new word almost every day, or at least he gets one syllable right. It doesn't always sound perfect but you can definitely understand what he means. Today's word was "ljus" (light) as in Christmas lights and he said the whole word.

Another cute thing is that he's started to sing. For example, when he hears "the little drummer boy" he starts humming "pa rum pa pa rum" (or his version of it).

We went up to Boston in order to celebrate cousin Ben's 10th birthday and get together with the family before the holidays. It was great seeing Jason's family and we got to enjoy some nippy weather.

the quest for a christmas card






The winner
This weekend I've been trying to take a picture for this year's Christmas card. This wasn't easy considering sitting still is not a top priority for a 1-year old.

secret woods with morfar

Today we went to secret woods nature center for a stroll. As usual, my dad took great pictures.

Liam could spend hours exploring if he got the opportunity

Sightseeing


Thanksgiving
Post turkey nap


After dinner, we took a walk over to a house with holiday decorations you could probably spot from space
Very proud


Currently, we're just enjoying spending time together with my parents and sister. The weather is absolutely gorgeous.
