Decorating for Christmas

We visited Mr. Tree Christmas Tree Farm on Sunday and chose our tree.  We also pulled out all of our decorations and started to put them up this past weekend.  Will loved when mommy found her Rudolph stuffed animal from when she was a little girl.  We will add more pictures of the decorated tree soon.

Christmas Parade

We came back from Cincinnati on Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, and were able to attend the Gahanna Christmas Parade that night.  The weather was great, and the town looked wonderful all decorated for the holidays.  Will even waved to Santa as he passed by in the parade.  We are hoping to make the parade an annual Blake family tradition.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a lot of fun in Cincinnati!  We were able to expose Will to his first Driehaus Thanksgiving.  There were over a hundred relatives in attendance (a typical year :)) and Will had so much fun running after all of his cousins (first, second, and third).  He really enjoyed the meal too!

Firefighter Will

Will loves his new fire truck from the Dillon family.  He runs in and out of it and begs us to set it up everyday so he can play.  

Touchdown

Yes, Will has learned how to signal touchdown.  As you can see from the picture, he is a huge Irish fan...even if the season hasn't been the greatest.  We love to see him every Saturday in his #7 jersey from Papa Fritz. We are hoping we can even squeeze him into it again next year.

3 Dogs

We had a great time posing Will with his favorite dog friends, Touchdown and Sophie.  Even though it was nearly impossible to get all three to stay still at once, we still managed to snap a few cute moments.

Carving Pumpkins

We had so much fun carving our pumpkin the night before trick-or-treat.  We stripped Will down to his diaper and let him dig in.  He had so much fun using the shovel to put all the pumpkin guts in his bowl.  We were pretty proud of how our family pumpkin turned out!
