Shoveling

This morning we went out and shoveled twice. Here's Jonathan's beautiful hat hair after we came in the second time. As soon as we got in he disappeared into my bedroom. When I went to find him he had two tissues that he was using to erase the dry erase board and then wipe his nose, thus the black mustache. So he's got a 'stache to go with his new 'do!


Milk

This little man loves milk. The other day we were at Niki's having cereal... he drank the milk out of both of our bowls when we finished.

New Shoes

Jonathan got new shoes. We tried these ones on first and he wouldn't let me take then off of him. Needless to say someone loves Elmo!

"I color face mirror!"

Jonathan took a pen, went into my closet and looked in the mirror while he drew on his face. He came out so proud and exclaimed, "I color face mirror!"

O Christmas Tree

This is the first year in our married life that we put up a Christmas tree. Jonathan has loved every minute of it. He's been such a good helper. Michael told me last night this is the first Christmas tree he has had since high school.

Early Morning

What were you doing at 6:15 this morning? We were out enjoying the snow while daddy shoveled. :-)

Boots

Jonathan got new boots this weekend and insisted on wearing them this morning. He's excited for the snow to come!

Black Friday

Niki, Celeste and I ventured out at 5 a.m. Friday morning for some shopping fun. Now that most stores open on Thanksgiving the crowds aren't bad when you wait till the actual black Friday shopping. We filled Niki's car before 8 a.m.! We did it just in time to have met up with our mom so Celeste took Niki's car home and Niki and I hopped in mom's car for more shopping. What a fun morning of shopping! 

The bottom right picture is the 1 lb. Snickers bar I bought for a gift, but decided Michael and I should eat it instead. :-) So far it is delicious!

Thanksgiving

I was put in charge of the centerpiece at our Thanksgiving table. Here is what I made. We had a lot of fun as a family. It was a relatively small group this year, only 13 people.

This year I'm thankful for my family, our savings that made it possible to pay for some unexpected medical bills, iPads so we can facetime Jerusha in Africa every day, friends and much more.
