Merry Christmas

We wish all our friends and family a blessed Christmas!

Christmas Cookies on Mommy's Birthday

Daniel of course loved the airplane cut-out cookies the best.











After 19 inches of snow, Daniel and I stayed home today and made cut-out cookies. Daniel's favorite part is DUMPING as many sprinkles as possible on the cookies :)

Michael headed to the Raven's Game so we are going to go out for my birthday in January. It was a fun day with Daniel who is the best present anyone could ever ask for in life.

Meeting Santa

Daniel was so excited to meet Santa and tell him that he wants a helicopter for Christmas! He must have said helicopter a hundred times at the mall. Then he had to wait in line to see Santa. He did manage to tell Santa all about the helicopter while he was sitting on his lap but we could not get a smile for the picture :) Maybe he was concentrating too hard. Now I know that he expects this helicopter to show up tomorrow.

I forgot to mention that Daniel tried to go back to see Santa after his turn was over. He was climbing up the path and I had to grab him to stop him. I could just see him making it into the next picture by accident. It definitely reminded me of the scene with Santa Claus from "A Christmas Story."

Decorating the Tree

Nana and Grandpa came over on Saturday to help us decorate the tree. Daniel is fascinated with all the airplane ornaments on the tree. He is determined to touch every single one including the new airplane from Nana and Grandpa:)

Let It Snow

Daddy and Daniel played in the snow this afternoon. They tried to build a snowman which turned into a hill???

Oh, Christmas Tree

Daniel loves the Christmas Tree! He discovered one of our neighbors had a huge tree outside that turns different colors so we bought some color lights this year. Daniel points to the lights whenever we turn on the tree and tells us all the colors. He is also decorating the tree with his airplanes and bugs (wait till he sees the ornaments).
