Tis the Season

We had a really bust weekend. My best friend, Betsy, and her husband, Matt moved into their new home. On Friday, we took over pizzas and started the unpacking at the new house. Cohan loved running around and helping Aunt Betsy (Boo Boo).

Saturday was the big move day. We didn't think that Cohan would be so helpful ALL DAY. We called Mark and Beth, and Cohan headed out to their house for the day! He had an awesome time and we owe them huge!

Sunday was the day to decorate our house. Every year, for the past 5 or 6 years, we have cut our own tree down. We go to the same place each year. It's our little tradition. Scott grew up always cutting down a real tree. We never did that in my family and I love doing it now.

Cohan's favorite part of the tree farm, of course, was the tractor ride out to the trees. Once we were out there, he just kept saying, "More tractor, please!" He could have cared less about a tree.

Cohan wanted to help Daddy cut down the tree.

Happy boy on the tractor ride!!!

Then the decorating began...

While Cohan was napping, Scott and I emptied all the boxes out of the attic, moved around Cohan's toys and then did all the outside lights.

This was such a surprise for Cohan when he woke up!!

I finally finished all the decorations around Cohan's bed time. He didn't care about the inside lights, he loved looking out at the lights and saying, "WOW!" Here is our front tree.

Growing up, we always had a Christmas tree in our room. Cohan has one in his with all the ornaments that he has received. He loved this one that is a block that plays music. He dances and tries to sing along.

CHEEEEEESE!!!!

Tonight we put out Cohan's shoes. It is the feast of St. Nicholas tomorrow. Growing up, we always put out our shoes out and St. Nicholas would fill them with goodies if we were good. This must be a Catholic thing, because Scott knew nothing about it.

He picked out a pair of shoes...
Set them out and St. Nick came!! He must have been a good boy! I can't wait for him to see it in the morning!
