St. Nick's Day

A tradition for Kim's family has always been St. Nicholas Day. It is the night of December 5th where we hang our stockings from the mantel and hope that St. Nick will fill them with small treats overnight. We of course carried on this tradition again this year and hung our beautiful stockings from great grandma from the mantel, and they were filled the next day!

Winter Snow

We have been very lucky to have had a few snowy days already. Will and Miles both loved going out in the snow, being pulled around in the sled, and making snow angels. Will also was allowed to try his first hot chocolate...which of course he loved! He can't stop talking about how much fun he had sled riding at grandmas and grandpas. Our big guy didn't even mind the big hills! We'll post pics once we get copies :)

Decorating the Christmas Tree

It was really fun decorating the tree this year, now that Will seemed to understand the concept of an ornament. We let him stay up a little later one night and help put some of the ornaments on the tree. He was very sad when we had to take the tree down after Christmas. He woke up from his nap and was very concerned, "where did the pretty lady from the tree go". He was talking about the angel on top. After a lot of explaining why she was back in the basement in a box, he seems to already be counting down the days until next December. Aren't we all!

Christmas Tree

We had a great time on our annual trip to pick out the Christmas tree. Will really got into it this year, and was trying to decide what tree he liked best. It seems like every year we end up with the perfect tree! :)

Miles' trick

Since he was six months old, Miles has enjoyed holding his own bottle and feeding himself. Just recently, he has started to chow down with only one hand. It is pretty humorous to see, so I had to snap a picture to remember.

Brotherly Love

It has been wonderful watching Miles and Will interact over the past few months. Now that Miles is mobile, Will has a great time teaching him fun things. Everywhere Will goes, Miles follows. It is also amazing to watch Will's imagination develop. Every piece of paper, block, and anything else he can find becomes part of his adventures. Will still hasn't quite figured out why Miles doesn't always want to play pretend with him.

Cousin Pictures :)

Miles and Will both loved seeing their baby cousin Hannah this weekend. She is adorable!!! Will even woke up this morning wondering why she had to go home!
