Our good friends the Abbass' were in town from Milwaukee and stopped by for lunch one afternoon. The boys had a blast playing together.
They also got to meet Eleanor for the first time who weighs more than their almost 2-year-old, Alex.
It was a lot of fun to catch up and we still wish they lived closer.
I've been getting crafty for Christmas.
Ethan helped decorate the Christmas tree and asks daily if he can play with his Batman ornament.
Eleanor has been helping redecorate the tree. Every day. The bottom of the tree is pretty sparse and we usually find the missing ornaments in every room except the family room.
We drove down to VA and spent a gorgeously warm Thanksgiving morning hanging out at Lake Anne plaza.
Ethan loved exploring.
Eleanor loved playing with the concrete structures that are meant for climbing on (not sure how that is a good idea).
We spent a bit of time relaxing.
We hung out with lots of family including Aunt Nat; though it seems that the kids were more interested in the iPhones than the company.
And this is what happens when you take technology away from a baby.
Spent some quality time with the cousins. The 2 cuties on the outside are 6 months apart. Man, they've changed since last year.
The best shot we could get of these 2 cousins who are only a few months apart in age. At least we'll get another chance at Christmas.
We did lots and lots of driving. The kids were great and even though they only took 20 minute naps in the car on a 11 hour trip (we made LOTS of stops at Ikea, Costco, Chipotle, McDonalds, and Target), they managed to not drive us nuts and we're more than happy to make the trip again in a little over 3 weeks for Christmas!

I don't know what is worse, Eleanor redecorating your tree or Hanna redecorating ours! She loves to lay on the branches, which bends them downwards. She likes to chew or dismantle the stuffed ornaments, then we have to squirt her with the spray bottle to get her out of the tree. (for those of you who don't know, Hana is a CAT)
