First Snowman This Winter

Jason and Grant got to build a snowman Sunday afternoon. Grant LOVED the snow and only hot chocolate with marshmallows got  him inside.

 

 

Attacking me!

He had lots of  fun throwing snowballs at me!

Now he is attacking Jason!

9 Months already!

My baby is now 9 months old!  He had a runny nose and was very mad at me for taking his pacifier out.  I didn't pick a good time to take his picture, but if I didn't do it, I would forget until the next day!

 

 

 

 

Going to see Santa

Today we went to the mall to see Santa.  Grant didn't freak out, but he wouldn't sit next to Santa.  Sooo, Santa came over to the stroller to get a picture with Grant! 

Evan didn't have a problem with Santa, and tugged on his beard a bit.

They got elf ears which kept them entertained for a few minutes.

 

Later on tonight, the boys were cooking in the kitchen. Grant used to love to do this when he was little, and he still LOVES it.  Evan, just stuffed his face full of rice krispies.  The boys had fun and were entertained for quite a while, and all I had to do was sweep up a mess!

 

Paxson Christmas

Sunday we went to Pennville for the Christmas on the Paxson side.  It was a lot of fun and lots and lots of kids. There is always a good rivalry between Ohio State and Purdue.  But I think Purdue usually gets the last word in!  Pap got a cute poem about his donkey incident!  I'm sure he will proudly display it!
I didn't get many pictures, not even one of Great Grandma Paxson.  Ooops!
But here is a good one of Pap and Evan.  Evan is always feeding his face.  He loves finger food and dessert!

Here is Grant and Daddy with Nana.  I think Grant is discussing eating more chocolate with Jason.

Afterwards we went back for evening church services and finally made it home after a long day, we fixed popcorn for supper.  Jason used to do that when he was little, have popcorn on Sunday nights.  We have started doing that recently, but have to make two big bowls because Grant eats sooooo much of it!

Brrrr!

Grant had a lot of energy this morning, so I told him to go outside and play for 10 minutes...

"Run around the yard as fast as you can!" I told him.  After 2 minutes, he wanted in.  He had more fun dressing up to go outside and getting to wear his boots!

Evan almost made it out the door...he is getting much quicker!

Here is Grant telling me he was ready to come in.  "I'm too cold".  He finally believed me that it was

COOOOOOLD outside!

I did let him in...after I got a few pictures!

Christmas Cookies

Grant and I made cookies for Santa.  He is such a good little helper in the kitchen.  He is better at cracking eggs than I am!  He was a lot of fun!

Here he is making a Christmas Tree cookie.

He was very good at transfering them to the baking sheet.

Now, on to the fun part...sprinkles!!!  But Grant is all business!

Where is the cookie??

Rosey red lips...so cute!

Evan loves to explore under the table.

And surprisingly he found some sprinkles that wouldn't get off of his hand!

8 months and counting!

Evan is 8 months old and all over the place!  He is a very observant little boy and loves his big brother!

Here are some pictures of him in his chair.

Of course who wouldn't rather mess up paper!
