A Little of Everything

Here are some pictures from the month of December.

This was the first big snow that we had at the beginning of the month. It was Evan's first time out in the snow. After about 15 minutes of getting him all bundled up he spent about 3 minutes in the snow before freaking out. Once he was "rescued" and brought inside he just banged on the slider door like he wanted to go back out again. Good grief!

Jon is showing Elijah how to make a snowball.

Another day Elijah helped me make sugar cookies.

He frosted and decorated one cookie, ate it, and declared he was done leaving me with the dozens of cookies to decorate myself. I don't think he is a very domestic boy! Jon helped finish the decorating when he got home because I had had enough!

Now here are just a few candid shots:

Elijah likes to wear Daddy's boots around the house.

Evan likes to get inside our new toy box to play, instead of just pulling the toys out.

A week before Christmas Elijah had his first preschool program. He is sitting in the front row in the red and brown stripped sweater. Our camera doesn't have a very good zoom, so this was a close as I could get from our seat.

It was really cute to see Elijah in his first performance. He looked so cute singing his songs and doing all the actions.

Here he is all excited after the program.

The next day there was a birthday party for Jesus at preschool. They started with a little nativity skit:

They then had the kids sing some of the songs from their program. Elijah was really excited to sing them again.

We then sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus. Each class had there own birthday cake with candles.

They then got to have Christmas cookies. It was a fun little event for us.
