St. Nicholas's Day



Ernie had a full day on Saturday. Grandma Bonnie made sure he had something to enjoy from St. Nick, a little stuffed snowman and a holiday book (he's also enjoying his "Charlie Brown" advent calendar from the Halls in this picture, which he begs for constantly knowing it means chocolate).










We went to our first Star City Parade with the Mohrs. Ernie was pretty stoic the whole time, but we're thinking he just had to process the invasion of giant balloons and marching bands into his community. Really, parades make very little sense without much prior cultural reference.


And then we went out to Spilker Farms to get our Christmas tree! It was a cold day, but we enjoyed it!

Old School

Just sharing a picture of Ernie from a couple of weeks ago. He's dressed in a sweater worn previously by Uncle Chris and Daddy Jeremy, and playing with the Lincoln Logs that Grandpa Darrell got him. The classics never go out of style.
