Christmas Tree Shopping

Last night after work we headed out to get our Christmas tree so that it would be all ready to decorate over the weekend. Since it was dark and FREEZING it was a pretty fast trip but now it is starting to look like Christmas in the Carleton house :-)

Thanksgiving 2012

I'm a little behind on my updates but here are some pictures from Thanksgiving. As always it was a very busy trip but we had a nice visit and got to see lots of family.  Admittedly I didn't take many pictures at all but here are a few. I will have to do a better job at Christmas when everyone is together again. Unfortunately a lot of the pictures I took are kind of fuzzy so not really good enough to post.

Good thing Thanksgiving was early this year or Dylan may have outgrown his outfit

Andrew and his buddy

someone LOVES hats

Hanging out with Pebbles and Bam Bam at Auntie Deb and Uncle Jim's house

Big boy doing big boy things

Some of what Dylan has been up to lately...

PEACHES!

TOYS!

Feeding himself!

 Shortly after the next picture was taken he toppled over... standing needs some work but he is getting there!

Standing

8 Months Old!

I should probably give up on trying to take pictures before the boys leave for school in the morning. Here are a few of Dylan who is officially 8 months old today... then a couple of the boys and of Andrew because Andrew insisted on taking pictures WITH his brother and then one LIKE his brother.. not to be left out.

The Boys

Zoo!

Saturday was a nice fall day so we headed off to the zoo. Andrew's friends Ethan and Brandon met us there and the 3 of them had a blast running around and checking out all the animals.

Day Care Halloween

Halloween continued on Friday with the annual day care Halloween parade followed by "Trunk or Treat" in the parking lot.

School Pictures

In September the boys had their back to school pictures taken and we finally got them back. For some reason there were a ton of pictures of Andrew, some better than others. Dylan's are missing his trademark smile but overall not bad. I can't even believe how grown up Andrew has gotten!

Definitely one of the two best... looks like a real school picture

My other favorite

.

Almost 8 months old and still sporting those bright blue eyes!

Not a great shot of the two of them but not terrible
