Mmm.. Dirt.

Caden thought it would be fun to find out what dirt tasted like. Obviously by his face you can tell he didn't like it. Caden was napping, and so I set one of my Jade plants in the sun behind the curtain. When Caden woke up he played in the kitchen while I did dishes. All of a sudden it got quiet, and I looked at him, and he had dirt in his mouth! Yuck! My bad. I forgot to put it up. Needless to say, I don't do that anymore.

So I needed to come up with something that Jacob could give to his co-workers for Christmas. I decided to make some hot cocoa mix and give that away. I found some containers that I had and decorated them. Voila! This is what they looked like:

Snow Snow Snow

So it's been a while since I have seen this much snow all at once. Jacob was constantly outside scooping. Luckily, we have two Awesome neighbors that came over a couple times to help and they brought their snowblower. We both agreed that next year we will get a snowblower, because this was just crazy.  Our house got hounded with drifts. Especially the front driveway and sides of the house. Here are a few pics of the snow.

Christmas with GG

Caden's First Christmas celebration was with his Great Grandma (a.k.a GG), and a bunch of family. We had a great meal and quality time just being together.

The Weekend

We are looking forward to this weekend! Jacob's sister and brother in law are coming into town as well as our little niece.  Caden is excited to be able to play with her! We will be celebrating Christmas with them, so it will be the first time that Caden will open a gift.  We also have my Grandma's Christmas get together going on, that will take place on Saturday. A bunch of Family, Lots of food and Fun Conversations all weekend long!

Reading Books

Caden decided he wanted to read more books before bedtime, like ten more! What can I say, he loves his books. Especially the foam colored ones and his new one that has flaps inside. Everyday he heads over to his book shelf in the living room and pulls out a few books to look at. I'm glad he likes to read!
