It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Well, nothing quite gets you in the spirit of Christmas like a snowfall. We got some this Friday (the earliest Houston has ever had). It was enough to give everything a good coating. They closed the schools early so Jace came home and played with dad while Kylie and I stayed warm inside. Jace was so excited about wearing all the gear that we could not get him to take off his hat and gloves once he was inside.







Steve made some hot cocoa- well lukewarm for Jace since he does not like anything remotely hot (see his hat and gloves are still on).

Steve thought he would try to take the dogs for a walk in the snow. Ellie hates the cold since she has no body fat, so Steve put her sweater on. They got as far as the edge of the garage and she would not go any further.

Kylie has started to be able to sit on her own. It is not for longer periods of time, but she can definitely balance better. She has also gotten where she enjoys of the exersaucer as well- something else to occupy her.

We started cereal a week ago. She is not too keen on it yet. Most of the meals end with her spitting it on me and her.

Jace made his first Gingerbread house today. I did the frosting but he did all the decorating on his own. He is very proud.
