Lights...Tree...Snow...Christmas

There's been a lot going on in the Harris house during the month of December. We were thrilled to have a visit from Auntie Anne and cousin Audrey. We planned lots of fun stuff to do including shopping in Peddler's Village and going to the light display at Shady Brook farm. Mac had lots of fun playing with his cousin.



Audrey loved to hold Mac. She has had a lot of practice with her other cousin Elise so she was very gentle.



Auntie Anne couldn't get enough of Mac.



Audrey realized that taking care of a baby is a lot harder than it looks.



Andrew and I had never been through the light show before. We thought Mac would love looking at the lights but he fell asleep instead.










After we took Anne and Audrey to the airport, we decided to do our annual trek to Carlson's tree farm to hunt down our Christmas tree. Mac was a little unsure about the whole thing.


We found a good one and Andrew ceremoniously cut it down. So mannly!



A couple weeks later a massive snow storm descended on the Northeast. We got a little over a foot of snow. Here is the picture of our back door leading to our deck. Tough to even get the door open!



Andrew worked through the morning shoveling out the cars while Mac stayed warm in his bed.



But Mac didn't want to miss out on the first real big snow in a long time. So we bundled him up and took him out to get a look at the whole thing. He wasn't a big fan of sitting up next to the snow.
Happy Holidays Everyone!! We are off in a couple of days to visit the Burton side of the family for Mac's first Christmas. Many more pictures to come.
