Nathan says

We went to Greenwood today and did some shopping.  I came out of a dressing room in a new outfit and my dear sweet Nathan says, "Lookin' good Mommy!"

We're in trouble now

Connor can now get up on the dining room chairs...

At least he's doing his part to conserve energy.

Watching Santa

This is a video of Nathan watching his message from Santa.  It was so sweet.

(That would be Connor and Evie in the background making noise. Mostly Connor though)

A message from Santa

Nathan got this message from Santa today. 

He watched it 9 times in a row and only stopped there because it was nap time.  

He loved it!

 He could not stop grinning!

Popsicle Stick Snowmen

 Connor, of course, decided to taste the paint.  Thankfully, it's nontoxic!

 

 

Nathan's snowman in the spot he picked for it on the tree.

Presents

Definitely better than anything else I could find in a box by my tree. :)

Christmas Movie Night

Playing

Some pictures of some fun after dinner tonight:

 (Insert airplane noise here)

 "What?"

 Peekaboo!

 The box is a hat...

and a chair!

Baking

 Nathan helped me dip some pretzels while our sugar cookie dough was cooling.

 The ones he did ended up well coated. :)

 Finally, the dough was ready.

 Decorating some cookies.

The final products.  I think he'd had a couple already at this point!

Breakfast with Santa

 Bouncing in the bouncy house

 Connor, wishing he could bounce in the bouncy house.

Picture

An attempt at getting Nathan's picture with the binoculars we made.  

Or..."noculars" according to Nathan.

Candy Cane

Christmas Program

Pictures from Nathan's first Christmas Program at church:

 Walking in with their jingle bells.  Nathan, of course, turned away right as I took the picture.

 Singing Jingle Bells

When this little girl stepped forward to sing her solo, Nathan did too.  To think I was afraid he'd be embarrassed and shy.  :)

A duet

Playing a little duet

Making faces in the mirror

Silly Nathan

If you were thinking to yourself, "Self, why are there more pictures of Connor?"  Well, here's why:

Silly boy doesn't want me to take his picture!
