Shape Cookies!!

A few weeks ago, Davis & Aaron had some boy time and made some sugar cookies (Aaron's favorites!). We realized we only have Christmas cookie cutters and we'd already put them into storage with our Christmas stuff... so they had to improvise and use the shapes from Davis's shape sorter.  Which would work great if your child is working on learning their shapes! Davis isn't yet but they still made cute cookies.  :)  And here is the blog post of the cookies they made last year!

Love this little mess!

Watching these two together makes my heart so happy. 

A Look Back at December...

Here are some of the things we were up to in December...!

We went to my friend James' first birthday!

I like to play with my friends!

Aunt Eliza ("Ziza") came home & I LOVE hanging out with her!!
I ask for her all day long & get excited when I see her!

I went golfing for the first time!

I'm a quick learner...  :)

Mommy & Daddy took me to meet Santa. He was big & scary.

I stopped nursing this month (17 months) so all my food is table food!

There were some pretty days so we played outside...

...throwing & kicking balls is my favorite!!

Bath time is probably my favorite time of the day!

I'm a great helper! I help with things like putting away my dirty laundry.

I love to cuddle. My mommy doesn't complain.

Daddy & I watched the sharks at the Greensboro Science Center.

I ate my first Yum Yum's hot dog!

And of course I couldn't leave without ice cream. Mmm.

I worked on my coloring skills in the evenings. 

I celebrated Advent and got to decorate my Advent Tree. 

I watched some Panthers games!

Miss Emily came in town for Christmas break!

I love to go outside! It's one of my favorite words ("side") to say over & over!

When I'm outside, playing in and around the shed is my favorite. I could stay out here all day!

I went to the Grey Gables Christmas lights walking trail
with my parents & some of our friends.

We went to the Christmas Eve service at church.

I celebrated Christmas morning with my mommy & daddy!

We also celebrated Christmas at Nana & Pop's house...

...and Grandaddy Rick & Mimi's house.  :)

I had a great Christmas!

I was so glad that almost all of my aunts & uncles were in town!

I got to hang out with my mommy & daddy's friends from childhood
and some of their little ones! We had lots of fun!

Then we celebrated Cousin Christmas at Grandmother & Pop's house.

I was sad that I had to say bye to all my O'Hare aunts & uncles
but had a great time while they were here!!

Man, these days are flying by! 

Snow (Dusting) Day!!

It snowed last night so we woke up this morning to an inch or so of snow on our yard.  :)  Which is exactly how I like it -- pretty to look at, but it doesn't stick around too long or mess up the roads!  Here are a few pictures of Davis playing outside. 

My snow bunny!

My favorite part of snow days is getting warm by the fire!

Now that we've had a little snow, I'm ready for warmer weather!!  :)
