The Original Charest Family Holidays

I debuted this movie from Christmas past at my mom's Christmas party, which has been going on for quite a long time. It has a familiar character to introduce the footage.

Happy Holidays to our friends and family.

Tree Trimming Action Figures

We are all getting very excited for Christmas around here! Although we'll be spending time up North, we did get a tree and decorated it together. It was fun and Ben really got into it. Some of the ornaments he claimed as his own and still remain missing. But it should get you in a good spirit if you aren't quite there.

See you soon.

Meeting the man in red!

Sarah and the boys braved the mall crowds to get some face time with the big guy with a few days to go! Tyler is also 3 months old today! Merry Christmas everyone!

You Gotta Have a Baby (for Tyler)

Wow, Tyler is twelve weeks old (that's three months if you don't usually count in weeks like I have for the last two years). He has grown so much since those first few days. It was a very special time when we were wondering, 'how's Ben going to take his little brother?'; 'are we going to be able to afford two kids?'; 'where are the pee pee teepees?'; 'will it ever be quiet in this house?'

So happens that I've been working on his special video that captures this short time in our lives and it's ready for you to see. Enjoy!

Christmas Raabing: A Holiday Party

We had a fun filled get together at the Raab's house over the weekend. Good kids, great friends, and something new-chicken parmesan calzones. Oh and check out Ben's hair. Something was up. He also had to borrow some special jammies after a mishap. A very fun night.

Polar Express Story-Time

On Friday Night, we continued with holiday happenings and attended a Polar Express Story Time. It was also a fund raiser for an elementary school in Framingham. I don't know why but I just love that story. We took a copy home for our own readings for years to come.

Tree Lighting

This year, is all about low key celebrations. Instead of the Bigger Fancier tree lightings around Metrowest, we did our own mini version.

Enjoy. It's quite mini.
