Great minds....

Clearly there was a sale on maternity clothes at the neighborhood Target!

Christmas Wrap-Up

We had a very fun Christmas season this year. Dylan was really into the holiday spirit--he loved to see Christmas trees and lights. As much as he talked about Santa, he was wary of the big guy in red (we reassured him that Santa only comes to the room with the tree on Christmas, not to his bedroom). We capped it off with a great dinner with family and friends.

Here are some of the highlights of the season. Click on the last photo for the full album. Happy Holidays!

Dylan as bare as the tree and loving it!

Dylan is Santa Claus (at least that is what he told me before we took this picture).
