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!
