The boys were so excited when it snowed. They had been watching Frosty the Snowman and wanted to build a snowman. We walked over to Grandma Church's house in the snow and played with our cousins who were visiting for Christmas. Danny was here from Texas, along with his mommy and daddy, and Devon was here to visit from Florida. All the boys had fun in the snow. We let Danny borrow a snow suit, but sacks had to suffice for his boots because we didn't have boots big enough for him to borrow. Devon came all decked out in a ski mask. Landon and Ethan LOVED the snow! We even built a little snowman.
Landon loves to play with LEGOS at school and when he plays at Grandma Church's house.
I love the Christmas activities young kids get to be involved in. For a show and tell assignment at school, Landon was asked to draw a picture of his Christmas wish. He did a great job. We had it displayed on the door along with a gingerbread boy for the Christmas season.
Then, our family was lucky enough all to see Landon at his Christmas program. His class dressed up like giant cookies, but I didn't get a picture of that until later, at home. Landon's giant cookie was decorated with a snowman on the top, and Landon's speaking part was, "I'm a snowman big and fat. I wear sprinkles on my hat." He spoke clearly for everyone to understand. He did a great job. There was a giant gingerbread house where we snapped pictures of Landon and Ethan.
Ethan was interested in learning to write some letters one day. We decided to start with E because "E starts with Ethan." That's what Ethan says whenever he sees the letter E.
We celebrated Thanksgiving with Ken's family on Grandpa's birthday. The boys were so excited to make turkey cake pops for Grandpa, but then they both got tired after the first one. Well, at least Grandpa got a cake pop for his birthday. All of the pie made up for the rest of the cake I guess. Thanksgiving was great. The boys, of course, enjoyed playing on Grandma's tablet. I think I know what they are thankful for...Angry Birds.
After all of the Thanksgiving fun, the boys were so ready to decorate for Christmas. We ordered an artificial tree online, but it wasn't there yet, but we got the stockings up at least.
Ethan and Mommy made up some silly was to give each other kisses. We already do butterfly kisses and bunny kisses, and now we have come up with pig kisses and elephant kisses too. For the pig kiss, you touch noses and snort like a pig. It makes Ethan giggle. Well, he was teaching Grandpa church how to do pig kisses and I got the cutest pictures EVER!
