My Everyday Life

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

And the first of three Christmas dinners hosted at our house.  Yay for Uncle Lou entertaining the kids while I ran out to get last minute groceries.  (PS – see R’s face focused so intently on Uncle Lou’s finger puppet?  Despite my warning, about two seconds after I snapped this, R went in for the kill and tried to take the top of his pointer off!)

It was 70 degrees today!  So we walked into town to check out the Christmas goings-on at The Green.

Of course, they managed to find the only puddle left from the melting snow.

A sign of motherly love:  “I ran out of wipes, go ahead, use my pants.”

They say full moons make dogs crazy, but the full moon has NOTHING on snow.  This dog goes nuts for snow!!!  Even at 7 years old, he still acts like a puppy high on crack once he gets outside.

Randomly throughout the day, I’ll either hear the distinctive “plunk” of one of these guys falling to the floor and then the quick patter of little feet running away, or J, R or both will sidle up to me and plop one down right next to me.  I guess it was silly of me to think I would decorate the tree once each year!

It may not look like anything special, but this is the first official Christmas gift Dada and I have ever received from J!  He made it in school and wrapped it and gave it to us at his school party.  He was so incredibly proud of himself.  My sweet boy.

‘Cause clearly putting more snow in the driveway is helping Dada.
