December Tidbits

First time in snowpants!!  She loved the way the snowpants swished when she ran : )

Sledding around the block on one of those amazing nights with fresh snow, warm temps, and pure quietness.

We attempted to teach her what a snow angel was - that didn't last!

Papa has waited for nights like this

I came around the corner last week to see her standing like this - in my boots on the wrong feet : )

We did have snow - now it's all melted.  Boo.

We went with a white pine this year - I don't think we'll ever go back to any other type of tree.  She's a beauty, huh?

Cookie baking held her attention for .3 seconds.  But, she asks for a cookie every morning when she comes downstairs.  I give in about 50% of the time because she asks so cute : )

We are getting into crafting around here (this may or may not be one of my main parenting highlights!).  A gingerbread house was on the list.

I called it crafting, she called it pigging out.

Sometime between frosting the walls together and actually putting the candy dishes on the table, I misplaced (or a toddler hid) the ramekin of colored gum drops.  They are still missing and evidently so is my brain.  Luckily, we had swirly trix and m&m's on hand as stand ins.

The hallmark singing snowman/dog.  She knows how to turn it on and keeps saying "press, press" as in press the button and then she dances around and presses again.
