The PERFECT Christmas Tree

Decorating a tree with a 4 and 1 year old is both exciting and terrifying (if you're me and LOVE our ornaments). Zack tore into the ornament boxes at incredible speed. I tried to hide my terror and kept telling myself over and over again that the ornaments are just "things." After all was said and done and a couple ornaments lighter, the tree looks amazing and Zack and Alex had a blast.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We traveled to Iowa for a very fun Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving Day at my sister's in Iowa City and the weekend in Cedar Rapids at Grandma Jude and Grandpa Scott's house. Thank you to everyone for hosting us and stuffing us with yummy food!

Trick or Treat?

Yes, someone was giving out cotton candy!

We had a blast last night! The neighborhood was a swarm of kids. Zack was literally as fast as a bat. Alex and I had to ditch the wagon pretty quickly so we could keep up!
