Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

I can't believe it's December 1st! Where does the time go? It's starting to look a little bit like December around here. Here's some evidence: We had our first snow a couple weeks ago (it melted by the next day and has only snowed again once since. I have to admit, I thought living in MN we'd be covered in snow by now. At this point, even knowing we'll get dumped on eventually, I'm ready to have a good snowfall). Owen was pretty intrigued, but his hands quickly got so cold that he wasn't interested long. Now that we have the right snow gear I'm hoping he'll enjoy the snow a little more. But I thought he looked pretty cute in his pj's, coat, and boots.

We went Monday night to get a Christmas tree. It was fun. I am loving getting ready for Christmas with a toddler around. Owen certainly doesn't totally understand what Christmas is, but he's definitely showing interest in the decorations and Christmas talk. I love it! I now see why holidays are so fun with kids. By Tuesday night all Christmas decorations were up. I love some good Christmas lights, they make things feel so magical. (I love the picture of Owen checking out the underneath of the tree with Ryan. It was pretty adorable).




After we got our tree we came home to our homemade Starbucks Caramel Apple Cider. Mmm, I love this drink. Buying the Starbuck's syrup has made for one happy household. We've enjoyed ourselves many-a-Caramel Apple Ciders already!
