Who is this man in the red suit??

I've had a lot of time off lately due to the Holidays, as well as due to well-timed snow storms on Tuesdays and Thursdays (the day I work out in the boonies in Franktown...) You would think due to that, I would be better at updating. I'm not. :)

Here is the end of November and December through pictures... - Thanksgiving with my family! Chase, Hunter and I had already eaten, so we skipped dinner. They didn't feel necessary to put us at the table, and instead sat us off to the side...The good news though...I didn't have to participate in dishes! Whoo!
This picture makes me laugh, but, unfortunately it's not the best quality. Chase was rough housing with my nephews and Hunter just HAD to get involved...

- This is one of my favorite pictures ever! This is exactly what Chase and Hunter do together - especially on lazy Saturday mornings.
- Hunter was reading to Miley from "Things That Go"
My nephews have this Bronco helmet and Hunter is absolutely obsessed with it...it doesn't hurt that he looks super cute with it on...He is pretty convinced though that with the helmet on, he is invincible and goes around ramming his head into things...Concussion before the age of three -- definitely possible.
I promise you he is laughing in this picture and not crying!
- He's going to be pretty upset one day when the trailer snaps in half because it can no longer support his weight.... I guess it IS a Tonka though...
- My dogs think they have an extremely hard life...although it was hard to watch the Bronco's lose I suppose...
- I'm fairly obsessed with my Christmas tree. I got an unexpected photo order mid- November leading me to believe I could splurge on a great tree and beautiful ornaments! I was so excited...I still am. I may become the crazy tree lady and leave it up all year long...

And last but not least...our trip to see Santa. Mandy and I took Hunter yesterday after an unsuccessful trip with Daddy on Friday (the line was way too long for a 2 year old's patience). We had running bets on whether Hunter would scream, but, Mommy lost. He sat very seriously with Santa, shaking his head vigorously no when asked to smile. No screams though, making it a successful Santa year for the second year in a row...



♦ I knew I was going to love this picture the second I took it! Him and Santa were having a one-on-one as Hunter asked him for a train and Little Einsteins laptop for Christmas...

As we were leaving, Hunter spotted the moving carousel near the door. A little boy was happily enjoying the $1 ride that his Grandparent's lovingly bought for him (Grandparent's are such suckers...). They were nice enough to let Hunter hitch a ride...

After the ride was over, Hunter wanted to see what the boat was all about (no doubt genes carried on from his Opa and Grandpa...) He couldn't quite find the seat though, but was content sitting in the hole where your legs go. Silly boy!

Well, that's all from the Anderson house (yes, my paperwork for my name change has been successfully submitted). We hope you all have a VERY Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
