It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We had an impromptu visit to ZooLights at the Oakland Zoo when Victor got off work late and needed a ride home.  Noah had a blast!  We can't wait to go back and spend a little more time.

Noah had a great time helping decorate the house for Christmas as well.  Here he is playing with our tree cookies before we got the ornaments on the tree.

Our finished tree.

The tree cookies up close and personal.  We cut a cookie off the tree at the end of each Christmas, write  the tree's name and the year on it and then they live under the new tree each year.

Handsome Little Man Alert!

Sorry for the delay, but we've got a sick little boy on our hands.  Bronchitis and an ear infection that are thankfully on their way to being much better.

Thanksgiving Parade Time!

Noah had a great time watching this group perform during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  After watching it about 10 times, he picked up his ukulele to play along.

While that was fun, he had an even better idea!

Singing!

Evening Fun

 

Noah going on about the green light on the camera.  The fluctuation in the lighting is due to Olivia trying to cover the green light and in the process, messing with the light sensor.

Doing some after dinner kitchen clean up.

More sweeping with a little dance in the background.

Dance Party!  This is a very common occurrence in our house.

Fun at the Airport

Concord Municipal Airport has a fantastic area for viewing planes.  It's right near the control tower and runways and even has some fun things for kids to play on (the control tower part wasn't open yet).  The best part was that there is a speaker that broadcasts all control tower/pilot communications to those in the viewing area.  Victor and Noah had been a few times, but this was Olivia's first trip, so the camera came along.

Splish Splash He was Taking a Bath

Olivia found Noah sitting in the tub fulling clothed, so she took that as a sign that he wanted to take an early evening bath!

She was right.  He had a blast!

He thought he should share his joy with his duckie.

Then he practiced reading letters (don't ask him what P is for...)

Next, he played with bubbles.

And last, he washed his hair. Scrub a dub dub!

What a fun time!

The Hat

For some reason, Noah has been hooked on this hat lately.  Odd.  He usually hates hats.  He bought a new one at the church holiday sale yesterday because this one really is a bit small.

Letters!

I think we should work on lowercase next!
