It's been about three weeks since I last updated our blog, so I decided to do an update on everything from the end of November through the beginning of December complete with pictures!
In mid-November we were invited to
a bonfire at our new friends, Chad and
Anne's house. We told Dawson it was
going to be very cold outside, so he
got to wear his moose hat for the first
time. He loved it. At the bonfire one of his
friends, Caroline (age 4) asked if he would
chase the other kids and pretend to be a
real moose. He got a kick out of this!
Some of the kids and adults at the bonfire.
It's hard to see, but Dawson is in the very
middle.
Dawson hanging out with more friends at
the bonfire. We all had a good time and ate
some yummy food.
Dawson showing off one of his new
bow ties I made for his "winter collection."
:) This is his Christmas bow tie. He now thinks
he cannot go to church without wearing a bow tie,
and if I don't put one on him he requests it!
Toward the end of November we were
invited to Dawson's friends Jordan and
Jayden's 3rd birthday party at their house.
It was a rocket theme, and everything was
adorable! During the party they even launched
a little rocket in the backyard. This photo
is Dawson watching the rocket in the air.
While at the birthday party he got
to spend some time playing with his
friend Matthew too. Don't they look
like they're cooking up trouble together?
My 26th birthday was on November 26th.
We had fun spending the day together
as a family, enjoying some Moe's (yum!), and
spending some time outside playing. Pictured: Dawson
sitting with me on my birthday!
At the beginning of December
we decorate our Christmas tree.
Dawson loves everything Christmas
this year, and he had a blast decorating
the tree--and undecorating it and
redecorating it every day since! Haha!
I think Dawson is looking like such
a big boy these days. John
took a couple pictures of Dawson
acting like a big boy!
Dawson started standing like this
on his own. So big!
On Saturday afternoon we visited
Santa who stopped by John's work
for a while. Dawson LOVED Santa,
and he cannot stop talking about him!
Santa asked what he wanted, and he said
he wanted a sucker. That shouldn't be
too much work for Santa! Haha :)
Our yearly family photo with Santa.
This year with Dawson, Daddy, Mommy, Santa,
AND CARTER!
On Sunday afternoon my friend, Kelly,
hosted a greenery party. We all brought
greenery clippings, berries, pine cones,
and similar "treasures" from our yards.
I made a wreath, and other people made
table swags, mail box decor, vase fillers, etc.
It was really fun and such a great idea.
Here are some of the girls at work!
Me and my friend Kelly-the hostess. We
are both expecting boys! Kelly is due in February, so Carter will
only be about 6 weeks younger!
This was our attempt at a photo with our baby bumps in the center of
the wreath!
This is our elf on the shelf. Dawson has
gotten really into finding Charlie each morning
and checking on him all day long. This is one
of the many fun places Charlie has been when we've
gotten up in the morning. He made this swing from the
ceiling fan in the living room...silly Charlie the elf!
Dawson's favorite spot so far has been when Charlie
was riding the piggie bank!
This is slightly out of order, but on Saturday night
we went to our annual Sunday School Christmas
Party. It was SO much fun! The kids had their own
pizza party at another house with the baby sitters,
while we had our Christmas party. Dawson apparently
had a great time with his friends playing because he
talked about it the rest of the weekend.
At the adult party we had yummy food, chatted,
played Christmas pictionary, and Christmas Minute-
to-Win-It. John & I were the champion couple-team
of the Minute-to-Win-It game! Before the end of the party
we took time for a group picture. We had a great time!
That wraps up The Zorio Family Update for now. Check back tomorrow, and I will have an update on Baby Carter who is now only 18 weeks from his due date!!
