Twas the Night Before Christmas
And Grace wanted to make sure Santa and the reindeer were well-nourished on their nocturnal journeys. (The carrots are for the reindeer.)
"We made these cookies. Take these."

Holden's words
Holden has lots to say now. These are a few of his favorite words that he really works on:
hello -- goodbye -- train -- pizza -- car (he asks to watch the movie, Cars, by saying Cars) -- doggie -- toy -- bus -- go -- vroom -- choo choo -- Grace (he joins right in whenever we're calling for Grace to come: Grrrrraaaaaace!) -- juice -- cheese. Evidently, he likes food and vehicles.

A Walk in the Woods to the Park
Today we took a post-nap walk with friends through the woods to a park.
Falls colors.
On the climbing wall.
A happy boy!
Grace on a tree.
Grace and Holden atop the tree.
Tovah bouncing the ball off the back of Holden's head. Holden laughed every time she hit him with the ball.

Shopping for Winter Clothes
Last year at this time we were partially settled into our temporary 1-bedroom apartment, waiting for our final apartment to become available. We weren't as well-prepared for winter as we could have been. We were distracted with other conundrums, such as what to do with three pods full of possessions that we couldn't unpack.
This year, we can prepare for winter earlier and better. We took the kids to the Used Children's clothes store and completely outfitted them for winter. They weren't enthusiastic about the clothes shopping - Holden objects outright to trying on multiple outfits - but they did like the ball pit.
