Oh Snow!

They closed a road by our house so the neighborhood could go sledding. Here's Jack with his nanny Chloe.

Sunday the whole neighborhood was out. Jack had the most fun because the other kids were there too.

Tasting snow with Riley, Ryan, and another Jack.

And with Mommy.

We spent Friday night in Holly with Jeremy's college buddy Jake and his girlfriend Shana. The place was a winter wonderland. Fortunately our pipes were not frozen when we got there. They had about 5 inches of snow and were looking at another foot after we left.

Jake and Jeremy getting the fire ready, their favorite thing. We actually sat out there in the 17 degree weather.

On the way down to Holly there was a backup on I-5, and this is why. We were totally part of the rubbernecking problem, this one was worth slowing down to stare at.

Decorating the Tree

This year Jack was able to help decorate the tree. In fact, he got really good at undecorating it too. Our tree is pretty sparse this year, mostly because Jack likes to take the balls off and take them apart, and it fell over once because it's too heavy for our stand. So even though we love the smell and lights of a tree, we will be happy to see it go after Christmas!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was at the Werkaus this year, we had Jenn, Devon, and Cara over, and my mom came up from Newport. The kids made a gingerbread house, and we had lots of yummies. Jack loves to see his cousins and learn all the big kid stuff.
