This year, for the first time, it was Christmas in Brooklyn. Luckily my parents and Aunt Mindy were able to make it down to spend it with us.

Noah was excited.

They came bearing gifts.

Our tree struggled to cover them all.

At the very same time, one of Noah’s teeth decided it wanted out of his face.

141224_43074

Kate and Noah wanted (reluctantly) to try the ole’ string on the doorknob trick.

141224_43078

Reluctantly.

Many knots tried.

Let’s go for a ride. We’ll go back to August when we took a trip up to NH on Noah’s birthday. Nana, Grampa, and Aunt Mindy welcomed Noah with cake.
