Our Life: December 2011

Early December Activities

Well, we are now in the thick of things in December - lots of things that have kept us busy. As previously mentioned, Buzz directed the Nativity Pageant at church. It went well, despite being forced inside due to bad weather. Everyone had a good time, and the live animals even made a surprise appearance! Baby-Baby got a toy train from his grandpops - I think they'll have to split time on who gets to play with it... Mommy and he made some Christmas ornaments - lots of hard work and creativity on display! We now have a small army of gingerbreadmen ornaments. And just generally getting ready for Christmas with Mommy's family, and traveling to spend Christmas with Daddy's family...but those are posts for another time.

Our Son, the Acrobat

Words can't describe the pride and fear we felt when we walked in on Baby-Baby doing this...

Of course, we had to get a video of it before making sure he couldn't do it again...

November to Remember

November was an exciting month, mostly because of preparations for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the church Nativity Pageant. This year, instead of performing in the pageant, Buzz directed...and yet, STILL grew a beard. No one knows why. Aside from that, our little boy had lots of fun hanging with Mommy, playing with balloons, looking adorable...typical 17 month old stuff. We had a great Thanksgiving with family, then went downtown the next night for the Parade of Lights. Oh, and did we mention that Mommy finished crocheting her sister's wedding present? Enough of the chit-chat...bring on the photos!
