Santa Photos at Lowell Humane Society

As most of you know, when Nicholas was 9 months he had his first visit with Santa. I have actually never taken him to the mall and never plan to. It's become a wonderful tradition to take Nicholas to Lowell Humane Society along with Dexter for photos to support a great cause. Lowell Humane is so important to me and it feels great to be able to give back to animals in need.

Thanksgiving

Back before I had Nicholas Nick and I would alternate holidays with the family. Thanksgiving in MA, Christmas in NY, then switch the following year. This year was the first year we started that up again and headed to NY for Thanksgiving, where we hadn't been for the holiday since 2011. We had a really great time with at Erik & Joe's house and we got to meet my brother Dylan's new girlfriend (now fiancé), Mariana. She was very sweet and Nicholas loved her and my brother is happy, so I am happy.

The day after Thanksgiving Erik and I took Nicholas to see The Peanuts Movie and it is without question the sweetest and cutest movie I have seen in a long time. I highly recommend if you have (or even if you don't) have little ones. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD so I can see it again!

Here are some pictures from Turkey Day :)

We headed back to New York the saturday morning after as we had a "friends giving" event at a friends house nearby. It was great to relax and just hang and start prepping for the holiday. <3
