in the holiday mood. The holidays are my favorite time of year. As soon as Halloween rolls around I start to get very excited because that means it will soon be Thanksgiving and soon after that Christmas!!! I LOVE CHRISTMAS! Just all the pretty lights and decorations and wonderful music and cool weather and well just everything about the Christmas season warms my heart. I get it from my Mother. My childhood has the best memories of decorating the house the day after Thanksgiving...a tradition that still stands to this day. We always listen to Christmas music and eat leftover pie from Thanksgiving and sip hot chocolate (with marshmallows) while we decorate. Another memory is decorating the Christmas tree. This was my favorite part! Then when it was all decorated we would always layout our sleeping bags and pillows and sleep by the pretty Christmas tree that first night. Baking Christmas cookies is a fond memory as well. Also going to look at Christmas lights on Christmas eve. There are so many I just can't list them all. I can't wait to carry on these traditions and also to create new ones with Alex. Last year at Christmas time he was only 3 1/2 months old so he didn't really know what was going on. This year is going to be so much fun. He is going to love all of the lights and the tree and everything. I'm going to have a fun time chasing him away from the decorations and the tree!
But I also want to talk about Halloween since it is only half-way through October. We got Alex's costume last weekend and we also went to the Pumpkin Patch. He had so much fun running around touching all of the pumpkins and trying to pick them up and carry them. Here is a picture of Alex in his costume..hes going to be a Pug dog:

And here are a few from the Pumpkin Patch:

Finally got him to look at the camera!.jpg)
Here is a video of him walking around getting excited about all of the pumpkins. Him and the little girl at the end kept running to the same pumpkins and they would just stare at each other. He already attracts all the ladies :o)
So with only 2 months and 2 days left until Christmas....I better get shopping!

It will be so much fun to pass some of those same traditions down to Alex. You've got me almost looking forward to Christmas myself after reading this post!
So good to see you blogging again!
Those pics are adorable!
Awww.. I wish my family had such great traditions when i was growing up.. sadly i was lucky if my dad remembered to buy a christmas tree at all...And i stopped trying to hang my stocking up after a few years of it coming up empty.. he was still a great dad though.. its just he got so busy he forgot it was christmas.. And mom..well she did it all, but it wasnt the same at her house.. ahhh my childhood..lol
I am also really in love with christmas and we have started our own family traditions to make it special for our kids.. Im so excited.. we normally add more lights to the building every year.. i dont know if we can add anything this year we have so much already, but im excited!
Aww he looks like he had so much fun. He's going to have such great pictures to look back on. You've done a good job capturing all the moments.
