Winter Wonderland at Home

Belmont, MA

A Very Merry Thomas Christmas

Santa brought Carter a Thomas the Train explosion of trains, clothes, bath toys, a tent, and a train table.  We spent Christmas day around the train table choo chooing each train around the tracks.  It was so fun to see Carter light up with each new friend.  It was also a treat to celebrate in our new home in Boston where Carter and Grandma had their first White Christmas.

After Santa finished setting up the Christmas loot!

A delicious steak dinner for Christmas (a bit nontraditional, but delicious nonetheless)!

Visit with Santa

Carter wasn't thrilled about his visit with Santa this year, but fortunately we did get a few shots without any tears.  Hopefully by next year Carter will be a little less attached to daddy and a little more excited about Jolly Old St. Nick.

Goodbye Porter Square

We successfully made the move to our new place in Belmont this weekend!  Although we only moved about 2 miles, Belmont is very suburban and feels a lot different than our old apartment in Porter Square.  I loved our place in Porter and living in Cambridge was great.  We have many fond memories of our old digs, but we're excited to move on out to the burbs and have a yard and double the space!  I had to document our first home in Boston with these pics:
