This month///Santa Baby!

In the past month we've been to 2 baby birthday parties (Happy birthday Miles Fox + Graham---James loves you both!), decorated our home for the holidays, taken James to pick out his first Christmas tree, been to New York City for the first time (post coming soon!), Christmas shopped/wrapped gifts, sent out Christmas cards, made TAMALES (post coming soon!), and have been to 2 Christmas parties!

All that to say, I'm sorry blog. You've been neglected, and for that, I am sorry! I'm SORRRRRY. Ok, enough of that, I'm back.

Oh, I also wanted to share this...

We're the worst parents ever. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Village...

Merry Christmas eve! We are now hours away from the most merriest day of the year! And according to google maps, Santa Claus is now in Shannon, Ireland (side note- I once ate at a McDonald's there). 

I thought my gift to you dedicated readers would be some festive photos of my Christmas village.

Every year I get a new building from Mitch & this year it is "The Chapman House"...

I like to pretend this is C.S. Lewis' house, how cute is that armchair & fireplace?

And what would a village be without people? 

The wood cutters & a small squirrel...

The village carolers...

Mom & daughter mailing out her Christmas list to the North Pole...

The village lamplighter...

 Have a merry Christmas!
