Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

A trip to Storm King (http://stormking.org) for Father’s Day.

Christmas morning in out Brooklyn apartment with Nana, Grampa, and Aunt Mindy.

Dressed and ready to go to Nana T. and Opa’s.

Anne and Andy’s daughter Catherine!

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.

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

Reluctantly.

Many knots tried.

Finally Noah asked me to just pull it out.

Crazy face.

A quick story before bed. Excited to see what both Santa and the Tooth Fairy would bring.

Thanks for keeping up with us. Happy Holidays to everyone!

A couple weeks ago we made our annual trip to see Santa. After waiting for a while in the cold, Noah nervously waiting our turn inside.

Signing in.

On deck…

The big guy.

Santa pulled Noah up onto his lap and they sat awkwardly for a second.

Until Santa had something for him.

Later, a private conversation at the playground.

Canal Street.

Dumplings in Chinatown for lunch.

Cannoli for dessert.

Living it up.
