It's a busy time of year

It has been a while since we posted last, and for good reason. This is the busiest time of the year! We have been busy decorating the house, going to Christmas parties, catching up with old friends and taking our Christmas card photos!

We headed up to Fort Collins last week for Jeff and Linda's annual open house party, and we had lots of fun (maybe too much fun?). We stayed at Uncle Jordan's house just up the street, he was so nice to have us (especially because that meant that he had to watch Henry for the evening). We decided that while we were up there we would have Rebecca take our Christmas card photos. They turned out great, but we didn't get Henry to smile for them at all! (No real surprise there) I have posted a couple for you to see, and our cards on on their way!

We finished decorating, and although Bryan didn't put up lights outside this year, we were excited to get it all done. Henry really does love the tree, so we are happy that it is in the other room and he can't shake the tree all the time!

We are looking forward to going to see Santa, we will see what Henry thinks of that, I can only imagine it won't make him happy! We will post photos as soon as we have them.

Other than that, we have been keeping busy with family and friends during this time of the year and we are looking forward to spending Henry's first Christmas with all of our family. Hope you are enjoying December as much as we are!

Trying to make Henry smile, the closest that we got all day




Making a face at Daddy that says, "I don't think you are funny and this is NOT fun"

This is his happy face most of the time :)

Thanksgiving and Christmas? Yes, Christmas!

Well, it has been a packed week here at the George house. Bryan finally came home from the hospital on Tuesday night. He was still pretty sick, but we were glad that he was home!

Thursday we woke up bright and early to a cloudy, cold day. We watched the parade and Henry took a quick nap before heading to Nana and Grandpa's. We spent the day there with Uncle Jordan, miss Becca and her parents. It was a fun day. Henry wore his new "thanksgiving day" outfit from his Uncle Buck, it was so cute! Henry ate some stuffing and grandpa made butternut squash, but was asleep before he could really enjoy the full Thanksgiving dinner. We had a pretty fun time, but boy were we tired by the end of the day.

Friday we hung out at home because we had a big saturday coming! Saturday morning we ventured up north to Fort Collins to see Grandma and Grandpa George. We had lunch with them up at the club and then went back to their house to see Grandma's tree and wait for Aunt Jayme and Uncle Tyler.

After spending some time with everyone up in Fort Collins, we headed down to GG's to celebrate Christmas with Tyler and Jayme. It was fun! GG made a yummy dinner and Tyler opened his Christmas presents. We wish Tyler a safe trip and can't wait till he gets back home- just in time for the BIG day!

We spent Sunday putting up our Christmas tree. We had to move the location on the tree this year, as Henry was really interested in the tree at both grandparents house. Pictures of the tree to follow soon!

We hope you all had a great Turkey Day! Here are some photos from the weekend.

Henry's Turkey Day outfit from Uncle Buck... so grown up!
