Nolan went as a Referee this year for Halloween. He didn't do any trick-or-treating, but did help mommy pass out candy to the other trick-or-treaters. He loved seeing the different costumes that came to the door and said he was excited for next year when he will be able to partake in the fun!
We went down to Iowa to see Nana and Papa Payne the week before Thanksgiving. It is always so nice to get some away time and just relax for a few days! Nolan had a great time playing and being spoiled by Nana and Papa. Bromley also loves to go down there as he has gets a huge yard to run around in and play frisbee. We came back from Iowa and spent Thanksgiving Day with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. Nolan celebrated Thanksgiving by having his first two teeth break through (bottom two teeth)! He knew we would be having a delicious meal at Grandma and Grandpa's so wanted to make sure he had his teeth out in time for dinner! :) I would say his first Thanksgiving was a success and it was great to be surrounded by those we love!
We are now getting in the spirit for the Christmas holiday. We've got the house all decorated and most of the presents purchased. We are even getting an insane amount of snow as I write this! Nolan built his first snowman today, and I must say that he has pretty impressive 'snowman building' skills for only being 7 months old! ;) We plan on taking Nolan to see Santa Claus next weekend while we are in Duluth. So the Christmas spirit is definitely in the air and in the Hicks' household!
Here are some pictures of the past couple months:
