Christmas cookies!

Last weekend we had a major cookie baking day at our house. Caleb was excited to help out..he did a good job with sprinkles and cinnamon candies (those kept going in his mouth, too!) .

Auntie "Dua"'s Birthday!

It was my sister's birthday last week...the big 18!! Hard to believe she is that old...after all, I remember life before she was around, and the day of her birth! It makes me feel really old. Caleb was SO excited for Dua's birthday, he just loves any birthday celebrations. He helped wrap her gift (with lots of tape) and helped her open presents, blow out candles, etc. I'm getting a little worried he might grow up thinking every birthday involves him somehow! He really loves it.

Snow!

It finally snowed a little here and Caleb was very excited to get outside. He didn't care one bit how cold it was! He helped Daddy shovel the driveway (except he was shoveling the grass) and he would've loved to play more..maybe if it warms up a little, it's been too cold!

Grandma put up her Christmas tree last weekend and Caleb got to help put some of the ornaments on the tree. He loves pointing out all the different santas, stars, snowmen..and even tractors on the tree. We are counting down the days now until Santa comes. I can't wait to see Caleb's face light up on Christmas morning. He is already so excited.

Grandpa got home last weekend from his long elk hunting trip...if you asked Caleb where he was he answered "really far away hunting at the farm" or "really far away hunting on a mountain" or "really far away hunting in Colorado!" He was happy to see his Pa when he got home.

Getting ready for Christmas!

We are getting excited for Christmas at our house! We put up our tree last weekend...Caleb had so much fun hanging ornaments on the tree. He kept running back and forth saying, "I need another one!" He really wants to get outside to play in the snow..so hopefully we'll get some soon! As much as I hate driving in the snow..I want to see Caleb get excited about it. He's been talking about Santa, too..we'll have to go see him at the mall this year. We hung our stockings up and Caleb said, "Santa is gonna put some toys in those socks?" I can't wait for Christmas morning.
