December in pictures

Four more sleeps until Christmas! 
And we are READY for it!
We have celebrated, soaked up,
slowed down, and done everything
else in between for this Christmas season.
It's been my favorite holiday season to date.
Max is at a great age...and we've really
just been having a fun time!
 
Here's a glimpse of what we've been up
the past few weeks...
 
We've decked the halls...
We've roasted s'mores around the
fire barrels at work. Nothing says tis the
season more to me (especially at work) - than
seeing and smelling fire barrels. 
We've had nightly visits from "Jingle"our elf.
I'm not totally into the "elf on the shelf"concept...
but Max thinks he's pretty great...and he brings us
a wrapped book every night to read. 
Mama has worked multiple long nights teaching
a "Paint with Penguins" at work. The participants
create canvases, are treated to a behind the scenes
tour of Manatee Coast while they dry, and
when they come back - our resident penguin
artist Chovie (or Trout!) walk across them.
It's a super cute program - and a portion
of the proceeds goes toward African
Penguin Conservation. 
We've wrapped all the presents....
(that cactus print is probably my favorite).
We've been to Wildlights at the Zoo on multiple
occasions....and seen Max's new favorite thing-
the Sparkling Spruce. It's a super tall tree ...that
lights up to different music beats.

We've rode the "Polar Express Train" at the Zoo too!
We've eaten countless number of Pez candies
from Max's newest Pez dispensers! 
We've experienced our first snow fall of the season! 
I've never seen Max move so fast
as when I asked him if he wanted to play in the snow. 
We've scraped snow off cars...
We've tried to "shovel" just like daddy...
We've played in the snow...
We've used all the fun Snap Chat filters...
the reindeer one is our favorite!

 
We've brought out our winter boots!
Mama arranged for a special holiday tour
for our seasonals at work at the promotion building...
and we got to meet Emmett the cheetah!
We ate Christmas donuts! 
Happy December!
xoxo
