Gift Exchange With My Cousins!

Tonight we had the first of many Christmas get togethers. We went over to Uncle David and Aunt Amy's. They were so nice and made a delicious dinner and desert. Devin had fun playing with his cousins Branden (9), Ashlyn (2), and Garen (7 months).

Garen posing in his new outfit that we got for him for Christmas.

Devin had a lot of fun pushing Ashlyn in her doll stroller. Branden was supervising.

Garen opening his very first Christmas present EVER! He's so stinkin' cute, and such a good baby!

Devin opening his gift. It was a John Deere 20 piece Farmyard Playset. I have a feeling this is going to be a VERY popular toy at our house! Thanks Uncle David, Aunt Amy, Branden, Ashlyn, and Garen!

Ridin' the Horsey!

For some reason or another the rocking horse Devin got for Christmas last year has become a popular toy once again. Before bed the other night he rode it for quite some time. For the past few months Devin has been using it for a step-stool to reach the things he's not supposed to get into. He must have remembered it's true usage.

Like My Spike?

Since it has been getting hard for Mommy to bend over the tub, Daddy has been taking over bathtime. Chris thought it would be cute to give him a spike and of course I had to take a picture of it.

SNOW!

We had our first decent snow of the season on December 15th. Devin wanted to go outside so badly that we finally caved. He would stand at the window and try opening all the doors saying "Snow, SNOW!" He had a lot of fun while we were outside, but we had to cut it pretty short because it was so cold. Daddy taught him to eat it and the only way we could get him to quit crying once we came inside was to go out and get a bowl of snow for him to eat. It was pretty comical.

I have definatly learned to imitate behavior!

Excuse me mom, this is a very important conversation!

Devin walked around the living room for quite some time just jabbering away! He was definatly into his conversation!

YOGURT!

I have this whole 'spoon' thing figured out now, but most of the time I still find eating with my hands a little more effective. I do LOVE some strawberry yogurt though!

Look at me Mom! I'm driving!

One good thing about living out in the country is I get a jump start on my driving lessons! I really think it's fun 'driving' up and down the drive.

I had my Thanksgiving Day turkey.....now it's time for Pappy to have his!

I really like to help mommy around the house. I'm really good at dusting and I'm trying to learn how to vaccum. Mommy can't wait until I master these skills!

Ok, I'm done.....time to turn it off!

My Chair

For some reason I think this coffee table is my own personal chair. I become such a monkey lately!

See that sofa table back there? Mommy caught me sitting on top of that a few days ago playing with the remotes!

Baths are my FAVORITE!

Every night mommy asks me if I want to take a bath and when she does I SPRINT down the hallway to my bathroom. I have so much fun taking a bath. I've finally figured out how to use this watering can....

I also like to lay on my tummy and blow bubbles in the water. Sometimes I get a mouth full of water!

YUMMY! Purple elephants!

More Fun Outside!

The weather was so nice this morning I just had to take advantage of it before it gets too cold to play outside. I spent most of my time outside climbing to play with Kitty.....
Swinging......

And sliding.......

I did play with my bubbles, and ran to explore the yard.

Bubbles!

Tonight when we went outside to play I HAD to dig in the dirt. That's what little boys do, right? Dig in the dirt?

I love playing with my bubbles! They're so much fun. I saw the bottle, yelled "BUBBLES", crawled up on the porch, and was ready to play. They keep me entertained for hours! Mommy loves watching me play with them too!
