Happy Christmukkah!

 It's been a fun holiday season: nice weather, festive decorations, family, and presents!!


Picking out a tree at Steve's Trees. Maybe next year we'll cut down our own. Nate is more concerned with his 'beret'

Mommy irrevocably destroyed the Gingerbread house (note to self: do NOT buy gingerbread houses that are on sale), but all was forgiven when I said "dig in"!

At a coworker's Christmas/Hanukkah party, Nate made a friend named Nate with basically the same birthday! Fast friends.

Lighting the Hanukkah candles. Yes, that open book is Judaism for Dummies. Great book.

Ironic first night of Hanukkah present.

Our little Xmas elf!


For our Christmas dinner, many Dempseys came over and I attempted to recreate a Real Simple table setting idea. Didn't work quite as planned, but still cute.

All he really wanted for Christmas was "Woody with the hat". Never again will we outsource the most coveted present.

He gave decent attention to each gift, though wanted more when it was done naturally.

Thanks Tante Claire for the puzzles!
