After several unsuccessful attempts to meet Layne, we finally got to squeeze his beautiful face and snuggle him close. He was just the best baby while he was here and I loved watching Davy try to play with him. He tickled his belly, talked so sweetly to him, and then decided to just pick him up and walk off. Aunt Brandie quickly had him sit down on the couch… they were so cute. 🙂

It is the day after Thanksgiving and per our annual Zahn tradition, down went the fall decorations and out came the Christmas ones. This year we decided to head back over to Sickles High School to check out their trees. Last year we did a little shopping around and in the end we ended up back at the school. For the last three years this is where we have purchased our tree. The tree tents were surprisingly bare and as we were leaving one of the gentleman working the tent said,” We really want your business, sorry we don’t have more trees out we have been slammed today and can’t get them out fast enough. Please let us unwrap a few, we’ll find one you want.” So that’s what we did. He opened up three, we picked out one, and were on our way. This tree is 8 feet, we thought that it might be a little big, but once we got it home we realized it was smaller than last years….and perfect!
Originally, we were going to make homemade pizzas and decorate the tree, but it quickly became dark outside so we turned off the lights, made hot chocolate, and put in Polar Express. On Saturday morning, Matty and I ran to Target for new white lights and then the family decorated the tree when we got back. Only two broke from little hands…. Not bad, if I do say so myself… 🙂

Matty loves to bounce, so this year we decided to have his birthday party at “The Bounce House” over on Linebaugh near Westchase. What is perfect about this bounce house location is the large indoor jungle gym that it has. It is perfect for 4 year olds. The theme of Matty’s party was Chuggington, a cartoon train character on the Disney channel. He loves trains. About 20 of his little friends came out to help him celebrate his birthday. He had a wonderful time.

This year Matty’s class at Primrose put on a Thanksgiving show for the parents. They sang three cute little songs and then we sat down with them to eat pumpkin pie… They were so sweet, I videoed Matty’s performance, after all he has been singing these three songs at home for weeks… 🙂

YAY!!! It’s Matty’s 4th Birthday!!! This year Matty is really into Chuggington trains, so his big birthday present from us was a new Chuggington train set. He loved it. He spent the day with me and then for his birthday surprise I took him to the airport….Emma was flying in with Ms. Kelly to celebrate the weekend with him. They were so happy to see each other that it brought tears to both mine and Kelly’s eyes… Love them so. Happy Birthday Baby!

We couldn’t have little Matty’s birthday go by without celebrating with his friends at school. He was so excited when I arrived at school, and as we set the tables his little shy side set in. All I wanted was to squeeze him and make him smile. We sang happy birthday, he blew out his candle, and we all cheered. I can’t believe my baby is 4…

It’s our 4th Halloween here and we couldn’t be more excited to go trick-or-treating. Granny came over to see the boys and help pass out candy. We started at Ms. Debbie’s house next door and we were on our way. Very quickly we ran into Caiden and the boys decided to go together….
Matty trying to keep up with the big boys…love him so…

This year when it came time to carve the pumpkin we had to take a vote: Happy or Scary. Davy and Daddy voted for Scary and Mama, Matty, Molly, and Granny voted for Happy. And we have a winner…
I attempted to roast the pumpkin seeds, but on Halloween when I put them in the oven I got caught up in the excitment of costumes and trick-or-treating and forgot about them. Andy found them on fire in the oven…Oops!
