Ian keeping up during his Christmas vacation from school - it took me a while to figure out what he'd done while folding laundry - he wrote out "11 x 13 = 143" with the socks. Is it obvious that he got a calculator? :)
Still playing "Santa" for most of the month - or two santas, as the case may be, with two nice reindeer. It's amazing how fireman coats look a lot like santa coats, too! Santas with the nice pumpkin in the background - that also finally got cooked!
Caleb started reading the paper. He's very intent. The front page article? The building of a new store, and there was a huge picture of the excavators digging :)
The kitchen got painted! It's nice and bright green, we like it much better than the dark brown that it was.
It snowed enough on a Saturday to go sledding! It was a lot of fun.
Then, it was warm enough for yard work. John took out two trees in the front.
And the next morning, it looked like this again! It's crazy, either snowy or warm. It's better than the 7.5 feet of snow they got here last winter, for sure.
We had a wonderful visit with the grandparents who hadn't yet been to our house, it was fun showing them around and playing with them. Grandpa and John got in a basketball game for their alma mater, we went to the Discovery Center, and mostly just had fun with them.
