And then on to one more exchange with his buddies Matty and Anthony Garreffa.

Let Christmas commence!

And so it began, with a drive from Jersey to Indiana (11.5 hours over two days). We started at Grandma Debbie's and Great Grammie's house:

Big night out in the City.

We took Maxwell into the city last weekend to see the tree at Rockefeller Center, eat out at a great, slightly-militant vegetarian restaurant and wine bar (even the beer and wine was organic). We followed that up with a holiday party in Brooklyn. Not a bad night, Maxwell would say...

Jumping!

Maxwell was a little slow on the uptake on climbing and jumping (trust me, we're not complaining). But he's getting out of control, this is just a mild taste of his newfound ability.

And the flurry of two-year-olds continues with Maxwell's best buddy Matty's play-doh party.

Baking cookies.

It's that time of year, so Maxwell and Mommy baked a bunch of sugar cookies in preparation for our Myser Marvelous Holiday Party - And Cookie Decorating Contest.

Christmas tree(s).

Maxwell took us down to a farm in Princeton to pick out Christmas trees (yes, Mindi insisted on two this year, don't ask). We're nearly the most festive in all of the 'Ville.
