Catching Up...

Is it really almost December? Is Christmas really right around the corner? How does it always happen so fast? The husband got out all off the Christmas decor out of the attic today, hint hint I guess. So I have spent the last few hours putting up the tree. Yes, gasp we have a fake tree. It is just so easy and my thymes frasier fir candle fills the void of the "real tree" smell.  As I type this my almost two year old just swung as hard as he could with his plastic golf club at the ornaments on the tree exclaiming "Balls"! Awesome.
What we have been up to this past week:

 zip lining through Costa Rica

I tried it upside down

lots of animal watching:

                    

lots of pool and spa time

lots of socializing with new friends

lots of fishing or one full day I should say

and enjoying the fruits of our labor

We took a much needed vacation to Costa Rica this past week before Thanksgiving. It was wonderful. I highly recommend the place we stayed, very unique in that it was more of a small villa rather than hotel. There were only 3 other couples plus us staying, and we all shared meals together. Could be very awkward, but it actually was quite fun. We enjoyed hearing any tips of what excursions they had done that were not to be missed, tips of the area, etc. 

The weather was perfect. The husband and I had full conversations. We slept 8+ hours every night. 

Glorious!

Thanks to Pie and Pal for keeping the little munchkins. 

Mom sent me this text:

you can't see that great, but Lane is wearing Holden's 3 month turtleneck and overalls. 

Gotta love grandparents!

We then game home to a wonderful thanksgiving and stomach bug :)
