Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree

I can't believe Christmas is already here. Its a tradition for my family to pock out Christmas trees the monday after thanksgiving. McCoy loved picking out a Christmas tree but he probably loved running through that isles of trees just a bit more.

He was so excited to decorate the tree with what he called balls. I even let him put the star on it. I love how our "Charlie Brown" tree turned out.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

McCoy loves watching Monster's INC. He's been getting so into it lately and quotes some if it throughout the movie. We caught this on video and I'm so glad we did. The first time he did it, it was much louder and lasted longer. You'll know what I'm talking about once you watch it. I'm sure you'll get a good laugh. (link below)

Happy Halloween!

We were really excited for this Halloween because McCoy was old enough to dress up and go trick-or-treating. 

The first step to a great Halloween: carving pumpkins. 

 McCoy absolutely loved being able to stab and cut into the pumpkins. Once it got to the mushy gushy stuff, McCoy ran for his life. He really didn't even like to look at the pumpkins insides. 

 The second step: great costumes and a good neighborhood to go trick-or-treating. 

 I'm super happy with how our costumes turned out. We had something planned for about a month before but it just didn't work out. We gathered ideas for McCoy's vampire costume and my scarecrow costume Halloween day. 

I was kind of bummed we didn't get a better picture of the whole family. Steele's costume was awesome and according to him he was, "Dangerous! But I'm a nice Wolverine okay?" 

McCoy had a love hate relationship with his costume. He hated the cape when we first put it on him but once he realized that when he ran the cape would follow behind him, he had a hoot with it. We caught the perfect video of him while trick-or-treating.

The third step: great leaves and great fall weather. McCoy seriously has a huge obsession with leaves. That's his new daily activity that he can't get enough of. I honestly think I have at least 5 movies of him paying in leaves. Here's one of my favorite. (link Below) 

Fall Fun

It was a special treat for McCoy to spend some time at the game center at Walmart. He spent at least 45 min in this ice team truck.
