Christmas Eve

We had our annual Christmas Eve party this year.  Lots of kids and lots of fun.

Reading Night Before Christmas

Cookies for Santa

Reindeer Food

Santa Came! 

Santa at Dave and Busters

Dave and Busters had a breakfast with Santa that we were asked to go to.  I went because Carter's friends were going but did not have high expectations.  It was actually really fun and the Santa and Mrs. Clause were great!

Carter came directly from basketball, so ignore the outfit.

Jingle Bell 5k

Our whole family took place in the Medford Jingle Bell 5k this year as a fundraiser for the kids school.  The weather was cold and rainy, but the kids were troopers and did great.

Hot cider after the race was over.

Thanksgiving 2015

We hosted Thanksgiving this year and had the Charron's and Grandma over.  It was a nice day and the meal turned out great!

Halloween 2015

We had another great Halloween.  Carter chose to be something creepy this year.  I guess no more cutesy costumes for this kid!

First Days of School

This year Carter went into second grade and Mason started kindergarten.  I was a little worried about my little guy going off to school, but to say he loves kindergarten is an understatement.  We are fortunate that he has an excellent teacher who has made everything so fun for him.

Carter and his best friends who were lucky enough to be in class together this year! 

Getting ready to go in the kindergarten door! 

Martha's Vineyard

This summer we took our 5th trip to Martha's Vineyard.  This year we left the campground and stayed in East Chop.  Our house was adorable and still walking distance to town.  It was nice to have some more outdoor space for the kids to run around and to eat outside.  Every summer we go to the vineyard we like to try something new.  This year we went during illumination week at the campground.  It was beautiful, I had always wanted to see it and we were glad we finally made it.  That Friday they also have fireworks in Oak Bluffs which was fun.   We did another activity with the Trustees of Reservations this year as well.  We did the family "explore the shore" trip.  It was so neat, the Trustees do such a great job.  We went on an over sand vehicle and saw parts of Chappy we would not normally see.
