It is indeed beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Every year the first thing I do before decorating the house is put our nativity scene up. Mitchell has loved looking at baby Jesus. He has even changed Baby Jesus' 'stinky diaper' a few times.
The morning we put up the decorations Mitchell dressed up like the elf on our shelf.

The morning of the Christmas Parade we started the day off by going to the Baker's for breakfast. This was to celebrate Sarah Baker turning 2.

On Sunday, we headed to the Santa Brunch at Old Waverly. This has become such a fun tradition in our family. Mommy and Daddy were excited (especially Daddy) because not only did we eat breadfast with Santa but Dan Mullen and his family were sitting at the table right next to us. Dan trumps Santa for Daddy :)

| Cheesin' it up in front of the tree at the brunch. |

| Mitchell LOVE LOVE LOVEs a piano. He stood there for a good 20 minutes just watching and listening. |
 |
| Enjoying a gingerbread cookie. |
