Tis the Season

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around the Holick house!  Since we were back in town early Thanksgiving weekend we got a jump start on decorating and starting some new family traditions.

Nolan and Eric went out and bought a tree for our deck.  Nolan was so excited to be a big helper for this outing!

We hit up ZooLights before the weather got too cold and the crowds got too big.  I'm pretty sure Nolan was extremely disappointed that we weren't at the zoo to see animals and all he got to do was ride around in the stroller and look at lights.  Quinn was all bundled up on the BabyBjorn and happy as could be because she was being held.

We went with our friends, the Warrens.  Nolan and Emma have a good time playing together and they just had a baby boy that will be a good playmate for Quinn soon enough!

We started the tradition of "Elf on the Shelf" Thanksgiving weekend as well.  "Elf" appeared for breakfast on Sunday morning and delivered the kids their Christmas pajamas and an advent calendar.

Let the yearly Elf breakfast begin!!

"Elf's" first spot to keep an eye on Nolan and Quinn.

Quinn, or course, wanted to eat the wrapping paper.

We decorated the house for Christmas on Sunday as well.  The finished tree.

All four stockings hung on the mantle this year :)
