Well I will not attempt to make up for the last year with a super long post so I will just start with what life is looking like here in the month of December.
My Mimi came to visit. I brought her home with us after the Thanksgiving holiday. Abishai likes to crawl in her lap and read stories. (When he feels like sitting still, a rarity here)
He also got his own rake to help Daddy clean up the yard. He did a pretty good job of jumping into the piles. He was a good sport considering it was probably in the upper 30's.
We got our Christmas tree. It's a real one and it's pretty tall. Abishai LOVES to grab things off of it when I turn my head. The bottom of it it looking quite bare but it's ok. Usually each year we do a red and silver tree. This year we put on the colored lights not even thinking about it. So we threw on some colored and sparkly ornaments and viola! I call it "The Tacky Tree"! I think we already have a plan to for something different next year. I have always liked decorating the tree and seeing it all lit up at night time.
We did get about 4 inches of snow last week. School was shut down the night before. It was pretty funny but a good idea since the snow came early and lasted all day long! I did not get any pictures of the snow however because I broke my camera!! Yes, I have been wanting a new one for a while but this was totally unintentional. I was trying to take a picture and I dropped it while it was turned on the lens is now stuck expanded and the whole thing is kaput. Maybe I'll get lucky and soon my wonderful, loving husband will take pity on me and find me a new one. ;)
Well I have to get to working on a few things here. I promised Andy that I would made him oatmeal cookies and I have been procrastinating. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I leave you with this last picture of our beautiful little 20 month old taken in November. He has grown more mature looking even in the last month! It is crazy how they change.
