December

(NOTE: The editing on this particular post is terrible. My apologies. Blogger is the WORST when it comes to good formatting, but it does get the job done.)


December was so exciting for the family. Aaron discovered snow and Christmas! He has grown so much and learned so much in just the last month that almost daily we see him do something new and "grown up."

Here are a few of our December adventures.

Aaron visits Santa. He didn't cry, he didn't smile. He just didn't "get" the elf taking his picture.

















Mom did some Christmas baking and even made a cookie for Aaron, but he didn't even get a crumb from it!!












Aaron is quite excited for the Olylmpics to come to Vancouver. He's been practicing holding his colored rings in anticipation!












Aaron got a new snowsuit from Grandma and Grandpa Cupples. Of course, with all the snow, we just had to put it on him and get out in all the fluffy white stuff. Seeing Aaron like this brought back some memories of being stuffed into a snowsuit and led outside. You too?

















He was very curious about all the white stuff although it kept falling in his eyes which caused severe blinkage!

















All of us out in the snow.












Aaron turned 9 months old on December 21. Here's a shot of Aaron at 6 days old and now. Craig just happened to be wearing the same color shirt and it was snowing. Perfect now and then photo opportunity.
















Jazz, the Man. He hasn't seen the outside of the house since the first snowflake fell. Mr. Tender Paws.
















Aaron's first taste of cabbage rolls.












Aaron tries to escape daily. He knows there are better things downstairs he just can't get there!












He LOVES his book basket. This game takes hours to play. I load up the basket, he unloads. I load it up, he unloads it. Hours. Truly.












I don't know who said kids won't eat broccoli. This kid loves it! Although we do keep finding little broccoli bits in his ear. Oh well.












Craig spent two days of his much deserved holiday in the attic. Before and After. We are toasty now!




And it just keeps snowing.
















You can't even tell there are stairs here now, it just looks like a luge run.


















Christmas Eve.













Christmas day. Aaron was the happiest all day just playing with the paper.














Our Chipmunk is at it again!

Okay, now I am back to me. I think she must have signed in on my computer and had it remember her profile instead of mine.
