Christmastime Fun

Noah had a lot of fun this holiday season. We made salt-dough Santa ornaments to give out as gifts. Noah thoroughly enjoyed squishing his hand into the dough to create the template for our craft.




The little snowmen on this rug became two of his best buddies. It upset him whenever somebody was standing on their faces. He also liked to lay down and cuddle with the "snow" as he called them.



Noah was a big help while we were setting the table for our Christmas party. He plopped a friend in each of the seats and then proceeded to get cups out of his cubby to put at each place. We actually didn't realize he had done this until we walked back into the room later. Hilarious.
  

He graciously volunteered to sample all of the Christmas cookies that I baked




And we had lots of family cuddles

Noah's 3rd Christmas

Santa brought Noah a Radio Flyer big wheel for Christmas this year. After some initial hesitation about coming downstairs (he may have thought Santa was still in the house), Noah raced over to his new bike and jumped on.




Santa also brought a Toy Story 3 movie and a couple other goodies.



Happy boy on Christmas morning

Christmas Card

My wonderful cousin took some great pictures for us that we used for our Christmas card this year. We took the pictures on Thanksgiving when it was unusually warm out, so it was a perfect day for a shoot. Here are some extra pictures that weren't included on the card (and some that were).
