Here are some pictures of a dressed up Lillian at 6 weeks.

Friday night out!

Jenn watched the kids while Alan and I went to my company party. First night out since the baby! 

Decorating Colleen's Christmas Tree

The Friday after Thanksgiving everyone who didn't have to work (sorry Alan and Joe) went to Colleen's house and decorated her Christmas Tree. Grandma Kiki and I advised while Grandpa Bart, Colleen and Simon put the lights and decorations on the tree.

Thanksgiving 2013

We had a housefull on Thanksgiving Day. Grandpa Bart and Grandma Kiki, Colleen and Joe, Alan and Emily and Simon and Lillian. We did some serious football watching, and some serious football playing. I made the executive decision this year to order or meal out from Whole Foods, so it was a cooking free day for us. The Whole Foods Meal was amazingly easy and quite good. We got a turkey that everyone agreed was delicious (though there was definitely some hesitation on many folks parts before it was tasted). Grandpa Bart doctored the mashed potatoes a bit, the green beans and cranberry sauces were excellent, even the gravy was good. The only disappointment was the stuffing - everyone agreed that it was too wet and too flavorful. We are just too used to stovetop I guess! Alan's favorite part was 10 minutes of cleanup!

It was a lovely day and so relaxing and nice to spend it with family. Lots of pictures after the jump as well...

Serious football watching. Who's son is that?

Sleepy day...

Funny things...

Daddy Says: Simon, if you don't cry and cooperate upstairs during bedtime then we can listen to that song again.
Simon Thinks, then Responds: Can I cry downstairs?

Sigh.

He's getting so big!!
