When I (Kristy) was growing up, my Grandma made sugar cookies for us to decorate each Christmas. I have many fond memories of my cousins, brother and me decorating cookies and sampling a lot of frosting along the way. When my Grandma was here helping while Paul was in Costa Rica, I had plans to make and decorate cookies with her. Unfortunately we ran out of time for decorating the cookies while she was here. After we took her to the airport (it was early, so the boys were in pj's), we came home and decorated all of the cookies we had made. Our boys had a great time and I so enjoyed watching the guys create their masterpieces.
Luke had several first experiences in January.
We visited Bouncin' Bears and he loved crawling and climbing all over the inflatables.
(Finally, we found a safe place for him to climb!)
He painted with Kool-aid. He tasted it only a few times, but he really enjoyed splattering the paint on his paper.
He found our sandbox and thinks the sand is so fun!
Being a 3 year old, Joshua thinks poop is so funny. He talks about it a lot. When our zoo hosted a poop exhibit, we had to take our boys. It was very educational--and pretty gross.
Eli tried out the outhouse.
Joshua plays with his trains daily. Often, he lines them all up like this
or this. He is very creative in his story telling when he has all of his trains out and he gets very upset if I don't play trains correctly with him--or if someone takes a train from his line!
Joshua got these rain boots for Christmas. He was so excited to try them out after the first rain in January. :-)
