The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Our Holiday Season is off and running! We had an unbelievably wonderful long weekend meeting our newest nephew, Isaac Joseph Cervantes, celebrating Thanksgiving with both our families, decorating our house for Christmas, and finally hosting our fifth annual Flott family cookie baking day! I even managed to get some online shopping done in between all the fun! We have been reminded again just how fortunate we are to have such loving (and entertaining) families!

Isaac is so sweet!

A Quick Trip to the North Pole!

We had a long week.  Between Erik and I both having busy work weeks and Elsa coming down with croup, we were ready for the weekend.  Unfortunately, Elsa didn't get the memo that you are supposed to be feeling better by the weekend! We all were still battling the lasting effects of colds (Elsa was no longer contagious), so we decided to make the trip to Monticello with Aunt Steph, Uncle Jeff, Clara, Greta, and many of Aunt Steph's family members to take a ride on the Polar Express.  Although Elsa was not her chipper self (and wasn't feeling too smiley for pictures), we had a good time!
