Ahhh, the holidays!

The holiday season is upon us! You know, the time for rampant consumerism, way too many photo shoots with dorky matching pj's, and wildly varying temperatures (at least here in Texas). Christmas is almost here and Thanksgiving just flew right on by. We had a great time for Thanksgiving. Mama was a little worried, though. This was the first Thanksgiving ever that she did not spend in North Carolina. She told Papa that she refused to fly with a toddler and a newborn. Who is she kidding? I would have behaved perfectly on the airplane. I LOVE sitting still for three hours straight in a confined space with limited snack opportunities.

Anyway, we stayed in Texas this year and had quite the Thanksgiving adventure in East Texas. Mom's friends Mr. Matt and Mrs. Janie invited us over to their ranch. I got the opportunity to sit on a horse, eat pie for breakfast, and charm the socks off of 40-some people. It was a delightful Thanksgiving. We even got to stay at the lake house and see plenty of deer.

Mama has been telling me all about Santa. I cannot wait to tell him what I want for Christmas. When mama asks me what I want from Santa I always say "a pumpkin" first, followed by a helicopter. What else would make my life complete besides a pumpkin and a helicopter? A puppy, perhaps? Yes, I even mentioned that the other day. Just what mama needs, two babies, two crazy cats, one husband, and a puppy... that'll do her in!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Love,

Weston
