Getting ready for Christmas

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone we are ready to bring on Christmas! Anthony is a real stickler for not Turing up anything Christmas until Thanksgiving has had it's moment. No skipping holidays in this house. :)

Since its Cannon's first Christmas I really want to make sure we make it festive and memorable...even if its just us parents that remember it. I've calendared out some activities to get us in the holiday mood. You better believe that this year we will be doing pictures with Santa, Angel trees, concerts, sledding and of course visiting family. In fact, we will be heading down to Utah next weekend to meet the newest member of our family, Andrew & Brittany's little girl that was just born on 11/27/12, Hadlee Mae Armstrong.

And despite having another ear ache this season, Cannon is still happy as ever. The only way we know this boy is sick is from the stuffy nose and pulling at his ear. He's such a trooper he smiles through it all. Must have a high pain tolerance...or just a cheery disposition that can't be brought down by illness.

Cannon has been thinking about what he wants to ask Santa for.

And here he is dressed and ready to go get his picture taken with jolly Ol' St. Nick.
