Celebrating Aunt Kellie’s first birthday back in Omaha, with sushi! While it looks like a crazy pile of wasabi, Eleanor is actually just a fan of the edamame hummus.
The boat arrived with dry ice flowing stern to bow

Eleanor agrees to try a bubble bath again, with reservations
Then when sister poops in the tub for the fifth time, and it’s soap night, you get to take a shower in dad’s bathroom downstairs. “I like showers!” -Des

Desmond was quite proud of building his crane taller than him

Eleanor stuck, like a smidge, but do NOT get in her way

When November is nearly over, but it’s still warm enough to play outside after daycare, you ignore the fact it’s completely dark outside
Still hoping to scale that slide, but no hope in shoes

Desmond helping dad with the annual “get all of the tree to light” challenge- this time only taking half a day! New and improved, now with live 120-volt testing!
Mom was the real hero of the morning, keeping both of these hooligans entertained and safe
Building a snowman, because what else would it be?
Eleanor has reached the stage of standing– if both of her hands are preoccupied with something interesting
Des hanging the Charlie Brown ornament
And modeling the elf hat…
…while hanging the stockings
Inspecting the Snoopy ornament
Eleanor spent a better part of the evening trying to master standing up on the rub with bare feet
She got a few wins in (naturally, see prior slide climbing marathons)
Persistence and smiles
<Insert memory here of why mom is laughing so much, may have involved cheerios?>
Desmond mastering the non-hook, string loop class of ornaments
Des trying everything to get the star on top of the tree
Setting new records for shortest photo op
Hop on pop
Eleanor getting in on a round of cheers!
Some baths are funnier than others
Desmond doing his very best to not touch ornaments on the tree
Someone’s favorite ornament
From best dad could tell, this was Des showing the Artoo ornament the Artoo in the book?

Des was pretty hyped about the “des-sized” tree, requested a picture with it 🙂
Sometimes it’s rough waking up after nap time, and you just need a hug
