It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Baby Charles got here just in time for the holiday season. Daddy likes finding all the festivities around town, and Mommy likes dressing Baby Charles up in seasonal garb. :)

 First we went to the [2]Canopy of Lights in Downtown Bloomington on Friday the 25th. We visited the museum with free cider and pastries and then found a perfect spot on the courthouse lawn. The place was packed! We were proud that we got there early enough to get a good view and not have to maneuver a stroller through the crowds.

 Saturday was the Holiday Market - with TubaSantas and carriage rides! Keri and Spencer came to visit us, and we all enjoyed carrying around Baby Santa.

 When Baby Charles grows up, he wants to be a TubaSanta too. 

There was a real-life pirate playing a ukulele.

Reindeer! Don't reach for their heads, said the reindeer lady. Good

advice.

Mmmm, Siam House red curry for dinner . . .

Monday we decorated our Christmas tree (our favorite part is the plastic color-changing angel on top). Don't worry, we are getting another string of lights.
