Christmas Program - note Patrick's ties on the boys ;-)

 

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

We got to meet Santa at the library!
 

Our first time watching the Nutcracker was fabulous - despite Trajan yelling "I'm hungry" at the top of his lungs during the second act :)  All the boys now regularly practice their version of ballet, and Trajan grabs his sword to fight the Rat King at least three times each day.

We got our first winter storm - well before winter.  This was my car at work two hours after it started snowing. 

 This is what the SUV said on the way to work the next few days.  I think that's actually as low as it goes, as the thermometer at our house read negative 20.  We even had a frozen pipe to repair (which found me very willing to fall back on gender roles and let the guys crawl around under the house in the cold).

Setting up the Morabito Christmas Train is how we know the season is really here!

Liam's Visit

We were so fortunate to have our Napa neighbors come visit our new home!

November

The boys had fun helping Mom and Dad pack for their trip to Hawaii!

And once again, I completely forgot to take any pictures at Thanksgiving.  But a great time was had by all.  Its always great to see all of the family at G-ma's!

Halloween 2013

The boys had a great time this year.  We made our first real jack'O'lantern - Hadrain drew the face, then Percy did the carving.  They big brothers got to wear costumes all day at school.  Percival wore Dad's cowboy costume from when he was a boy.  The chaps were made by Percy's great-great-grandmother!  Hadrian wore the bed costume Percy made him last year and won the goofiest costume contest in his class.  Trajan and Patrick got to visit the school for the costume parade!
