SnOw FUn!!!!

This weekend was warm enough for Ryan to play with Cole outside. They had fun looking at animal tracks (they found deer, dog, and rabbit tracks) in the snow, riding bikes, and just being together.

Bentleyville Tour of Lights

Cole greeted the reindeer in Grandma and Grandpa Sharrow's yard too.

Thursday night we took the boys to Bentleyville. This year it was set up in Bayfront Park, which was much more viewer-friendly. It was so fun to see Cole enjoying the lights this year and actually having some understanding of what was going on. We saw Santa Claus, although he stated firmly that he didn't want to talk to him, he just wanted to wook at him. Since there was no line to "wook," we didn't press the issue! Cole was also on a hunt to find Baby Jesus....we weren't sure whether he would be successful, but He was in fact there, right at the entrance! Grant took in all the sights as well, but at eight months was pretty clueless as to what was going on.

The neighbors across the street sold their house and have moved out, and we anxiously await for the arrival of our new neighbors! It turns out it is the niece of a teacher I work with, and her husband and baby girl. We are excited to have a young family near us!

Merry Christmas!
