Almost christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Josh likes the Santa hat!


It's been a while, it seems that I'm getting worse and worse at remembering to blog--does anybody read this thing?

Here are some things that we've done recently that I've photographed.

First, we went up to Bumpa and Grammy's house to take a picture of Josh and Tobey playing in the Christmas trees. Of course it didn't work out that way exactly. We got there later than I'd hoped because of a later than planned nap, so we were losing natural light. Despite the conditions, I'm pleased with the result.

Bumpa took a family shot. Tobey was on high alert because someone was there getting a tree and Dave was shooshing him and Josh was looking at him.


THIS is the kind of lighting I was hoping for...


One of the many shots of the back of Josh that I got.


One of the final contenders, however, we're not sporting enough tree.


The final one!



The next thing is quite amazing! Josh got to ride in a firetruck in the Festival of Lights parade in Rockland! It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it was COLD. We ended up walking a lot more than I was expecting and I did not dress Josh or myself appropriately. Oh well, we lived to tell about it. It was a great experience, and I think the Madre for setting it up! Josh was so amazingly good too, after the parade Santa was there, and Josh was so well behaved and held my hand and walked a bit. It was around his bedtime by then, and he had had a snack, but not dinner, and he was sooooo good. Love my boy!

Afterward, Josh saw Santa--first time of the season. He was a little scared-but no tears!
