December

I figured December, specifically Christmas time, deserved its own post. We were able to put out more decorations this year and Michael did really well with everything. His favorite thing to do each morning was to turn on the Christmas tree lights. This year was really fun with him as he enjoyed opening presents more, seeing lights, drinking hot chocolate, watching my favorite Christmas movie (White Christmas), and so much more.

The first snow of the Winter.

We took Michael out for a walk and he insisted on going down the slide. We were laughing so hard when he came down the slide into a major snow puddle. He thought it was great!

Decorating the Christmas tree

Michael really enjoyed helping decorate

The star is up...only a day later than the rest of the decorations!

Michael and his girlfriend, Kaylie, making eyes at each other. Although, it looks like Michael is staring off somewhere else.

Santa visited our neighborhood. Michael wanted nothing to do with him. Maybe it was because this guy was skinny and young....Michael knows that Santa is neither.

Our "sleigh" or wagon! Michael discovered throwing snowballs. He loves to especially throw them at mommy.

Jason's parents came up from MD yesterday. This dump truck was one of the cool toys Michael got from them. It talks, dances, snores, does push-ups, etc. It's entertaining for all of us.
