December is for parties and celebrations!

I've probably mentioned how hectic/full December is for us. Between celebrating Chanukah and Christmas, we also had our wedding anniversary. And of course, Teddy's birthday is right around the corner. That means December is full of lots of parties and celebrations. Right before we went to the beach, Teddy and I had fun at the Moms Club Holiday party. Here Teddy hangs out with his buddy Daniel:

There is a little boy we met at the Halloween party who is a few months younger than Teddy. At the Halloween party he and Teddy had on the same costume except Teddy was a bear and Ryan was a dog. I had to snap this picture when we saw Ryan again at the Holiday party. Do you think they called each other to plan what to wear?

At the end of the party I was helping clean up. I glanced away, and when I looked back at Teddy, guess where I found him?

By the enormous try of left over chicken nuggets... of course!

The day we got back from the beach we had about two hours to shower/rest before we headed to my friend Wendy's annual Christmas Dessert party. Even though we were exhausted from the travel, we had tons of fun visiting with everyone... and eating dessert of course. Here are Teddy and Shae before we headed to the party:

(Yes, in case you did notice, Teddy has ONE "dress up" out fit. Same one he wore to the last party. Same one he'll wear to the next party too. You'll probably see it again if we take pictures at the Christmas Eve Party).

On Sunday we went to our friend Luke's 3rd birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese. I was thinking we would just go for a little while and Teddy would look around at all the stuff. I didn't realize how much fun he would have with all of the little rides and games! In this first picture Teddy rides with Bob the Builder:

He also enjoyed driving:

And of course he liked the pizza:

But he REALLY liked his first taste of birthday cake:

YUMMY!

Now that Chanukah is over and we are home from the beach, we finally had a moment to put up our Christmas tree:

It didn't take long. But at least it is small enough to put out of Teddy's reach!

On Monday night Shae and I went out for our 2nd anniversary. My mom took a picture of us before we left:

We hope everyone is doing well and has a wonderful holiday!
