We've had a busy December so far and we're not even halfway through with the month! We got a couple of inches of snow last week, and Silas and Eli enjoyed getting out in it.
My little marshmallow playing in the melted snow.
Eli was so bundled up he could hardly move. When I put all of it on him, it took him a couple of seconds to regain his balance. After this walk, I found out that while they are called snow boots, his shoes aren't necessarily water proof. He loves splashing in the puddles too much, though!
We went out and cut down our own Christmas tree. It was a little bit taller and a little bit wider than we planned, but I like it. This was the first year Silas really helped decorate, and Eli just stood there looking at it and bouncing the little ornaments. Good thing they're shatterproof!
Silas at the Singing Men of Arkansas Christmas Concert, with Aunt Sissy next to him. I always like going to some sort of live concert around Christmas time. Last year we saw the U of A's orchestra perform Handel's Messiah. This year was a men's choir, with accompaniment by a local ballet company. Silas liked the girls with the golden hair. He also liked it when the choir did a funny Deck The Halls medley and went into the Lone Ranger theme song.
My grandfather painted these little houses for me over the years for Christmas presents.
It's just not Christmas til Poppy's houses are lit up.
