Sledding at Grandma's

We had a lot of snow while we were home for the holidays! But it was really, really cold! So I think it took longer to get all of the gear on, than it did to sled!

"Too windy momma!"

Christmas at Grandma Ruth's

We went to my grandma's the day after Christmas. We didn't take a lot of photos. But we had a great time with family!

Andrew likes to carry around "shopping bags."

Christmas Day

It took us a while to open presents....I think 2 year olds only need a few things. Andrew would open one present and then it took him forever to move on to another present because he was so excited!

New bike from Auntie Erin!

It has a bell!

A fropper (bike) from grandma.

Binoculars

Andrew loves Mattie kitty.

What could this be?

Basketball!

Andrew loves shooting hoops!

He likes to yell, "Two points!"

Christmas Eve

We gradually opened presents...and started with stockings and a few other gifts on Christmas eve.

Andrew loves Frasier

Santa brought a new toothbrush & toothpaste in Andrew's stocking! He was so excited!

Wedgits from my cousins!

Yummy breakfast!

Decorating Cookies with Grandma

As soon as we got to grandmas, Andrew got to work decorating cookies. By the time he was finished, I think the bottle of sprinkles was empty and he tasted quite a few cookies!

Delta Gamma Christmas

Before we headed out of town, we were able to get together with most of the DG's and their babies. We had a difficult time getting photos of the kids...they didn't want to sit still. Well, some did, but Andrew did not! We had a great time catching up and meeting Charlie for the first time!

SNOW!!!

It finally snowed! We were able to put all of the gear on and head outside to shovel and sled!

All bundled up!

Hmm...what is this stuff?

I finally get to use my new red shovel!

Little Lambs Christmas Party

Not so sure of Santa.

Dancing at the party!

Gingerbread House

I'm not sure it is a good idea to make the entire gingerbread house with an almost 2 year old...unless you build it first and decorate later. The instructions say to put the walls together and wait 2-3 hours before decorating. That is after you get the first set of walls up and wait 1 hour! So the 'engineer' decided to use these strip tie things. Regardless, Andrew loved decorating...and eating gumdrops!

Mac n' cheesy face from dinner + frosting = delicious!

"Cheese!"

"I try it."

Notice the wall support.

Finished!

VIsit with Santa

Waiting our turn...

First 'up close' look at Sanata!

A little unsure...

But not a tear shed!

And then a few pennies in the fountain!

I love throwing money into the fountain!
