Happy Birthday Will

I cannot believe Will is two years old. We've been celebrating for a couple of days now with his party to top it off on Saturday. I'm beginning to think he thinks opening presents is a normal thing to do. We gave him Lightning McQueen today, which he was pretty excited about. Along with all his other gifts, he's a very lucky and loved little boy. Happy Birthday baby!

The Crew

We were able to get together with my friends over the holiday which turned into a kid party. The kids were shy at first, but after 2 hours everyone opened up and decided to run laps around the house. We loved seeing everyone and especially love seeing the kids grow up!

Merry Christmas

We celebrated a day early yesterday and had a wonderful Christmas. Will loved ripping off the wrapping paper and all the kids opened their gifts in record time. Thank you Santa for a very merry Christmas.

Let It Snow!

It's the start of another serious snowfall, so I took Will out for a little sledding and snow removal. He enjoyed sledding, not so much the shoveling. His "scoops" were too heavy and he kept chanting "nose" to inform me that it was running.

Noelle and Will

These two really hit it off yesterday. They played wonderfully together, which means we could actually talk to Casey and Brian. A very fun night.

Santa

This is the second time we visited Santa this year. We went last week, but the camera battery died three seconds before I was ready to take the picture. So typical! Round two went much better...even a little smile.

More Holiday Spirit

We went to my parents last weekend and Will, of course, loved their tree. He and my dad spent quite some time looking at all the ornaments and my mom and I had a little fun dressing him up. All wrapped up in the ribbon is pretty symbolic...he's the best present I ever got.

The Tree

Will is obsessed with the Christmas tree. For those of you who know him well, you will not be surprised to hear he starts every day by plugging in the tree. He loves the "yites" (lights) and chants "wok" (look), and "no tach" (no touch). Unfortunately, what he says and what he does are two totally different things. He moves all the ornaments around and touches the lights when he thinks no one is looking. At least he has the Christmas spirit.

Family Time

We saw both Anand's family and mine for Thanksgiving. It was great to see everyone and spend some quality time together.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

A Visit to See Cheri and Charlotte

We had a great time visiting Cheri and Charlotte. Will and Charlotte played pretty well together, besides the occasional tug-of-war over a toy. The kids played outside and enjoyed their time together. Will definitely had fun on his first sleep-over!

Still Healing

This bump on his nose is taking forever to heal. It happened 3 1/2 weeks ago! Luckily his good looks can transcend the injury ;)

The Wilderness

Will had so much fun at all the water parks. He especially enjoyed anything with a spicket, which if you've ever been there, is pretty much everything. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday! Don't mind the bump on the nose, he fell last week running on the sidewalk.

Pumpkin Carving

Will thoroughly enjoyed watching me carve this pumpkin. He loved to take the top off and throw all the goo and pieces back in. Tons of fun!

Trick or Treating at the Zoo

I'm not sure where to begin. It was a beautiful day for the zoo and today our free zoo offered trick or treating. So.....going there was not an original idea. It was packed! We stood in line to get candy for a good half hour and got 5 pieces of candy and a toothbrush. Luckily, the animals were fun to see and there were tons of photo opportunities. Will's costume was a hit for the zoo (thanks Gigi) and we got to see Bucky Badger, the Lion King and Sarah. Of the three, Will was most excited to see Sarah, who he saw yesterday.
