We took Pierce, Grandma and Grandpa Baker, and Aunt D and Uncle J to the Trail of Lights. We went on a night it was super windy which made it pretty cold. Pierce didn't even want to walk - he was ok with being in his stroller. So we walked through the lights pretty fast - but the lights were great and Pierce really enjoyed looking at them all.

Pierce loved counting down the days to Christmas with this gift from grandma and grandpa Baker. Each door had a special little something just for him. 
Pierce has a thing for tools now and his tool belt. In fact we have had a few days where the tool belt does not come off - meaning he wears it all day - yes that means to naps, out to stores, and to bed. He loves to "build houses" when we are out an about at stores.
One of Pierce's funny outfits. He had on mom's cowboy boots, cowboy hat and some socks (on his feet and hands). Howdy Partner!
One of Pierce's favorite shows is Blues Clues. Well even after the show is over, he will get his notebook and look for clues around the house and write them in his notebook. He has a great imagination. This has become a frequent activity in the house that the first notebook started falling apart and each page had been colored on many times. Santa did bring him some new notebooks thankfully :)
Another daily activity in the Nowell household is playing football. Pierce runs around the house holding the football and will then come tackle you and say touchdown. This picture also shows how Pierce had to have a Santa hat (after seeing a few people out at stores wearing it). He wore this hat for a few days everywhere as well. He loved Christmas! However, he refused to sit on Santa's lap this year - so no Santa picture for us. But he did have us create a list for Santa of the things he wanted.
Pierce was so excited to get Dad's guitar out and play it. It was amazing to us that he just picked the guitar up and held it the way you are supposed to and played the strings. He sings a song occasionally too. Lately it has been jingle bells. He loves playing the piano and drums as well. Rock on!
Well it is a little late, but we couldn't resist this cute picture of Pierce in the Thanksgiving spirit! Hope you had a good gobble gobble day!
Pierce loved the pumpkins, especially moving them around. 
Anytime there is hay, Pierce loves it. He loves to play with it and then in this instance, jumping off of it into more of it.
Pierce loves to fish and this fish pond with this rock was the perfect place to pretend to fish.
The "daddy dear" with "horns" was very interesting to Pierce.
After the adventure, with in 5 minutes of riding in the car, Pierce passed out.
