Wordless Wednesday: Oh Christmas Tree

Our Elf....Jingle

 We have fallen prey to the Elf on a Shelf.....and boy is it fun!  At first we weren't quite sure what Drew was going to think of it and now he gets quite excited every morning to go and find Jingle.  He stands at the top of the stairs and yells "Jingle, where are you?"  I am not sure who is having more fun- the boy or his Moms!

Here are some of the adventures Jingle has had already:

Arriving:






































Riding the Christmas Train




















Fixing the car.

Having a snack with Buzz and Woody.















Leaving some money for the piggy bank.





















Working on a Christmas puzzle.
















Roasting s'mores.




















Riding the reindeer trains.
















Reading with his buddies.

Leaving magic seeds for us to plant that grew into cookies.

Where has the Time Gone?

I can't believe it has been over a month since I have blogged.....where has the time gone?  It seems to move at lightning speed these days and we have proof of that because our little man has turned TWO!  We aren't quite sure how that has happened and how he has grown so big, so quickly!

Drew continues to amaze us.  He is speaking in full, nearly complex sentences all of the time.  His vocaubulary is absolutely mind baffling for that of a two year old.  He knows his colors, can sing the entire ABC song and we are working on counting to ten. 

He continues to love trains and we often have a floor covered with the intricate tracks we have built.  He has also found the enjoyment of building with blocks and his Nana and Opa gave him a wonderful table that he can build on as the top flips to a block building base!

We are in awe that this toddler was so teeny tiny just a short time ago.  It really is amazing the amount of growth and development that has taken place in such a short time.  We continue to love every moment of being his Moms and never take for granted that we are so truly blessed to call him our son!

Wordless Wednesday

 

26: Close Up

Close up of some of the Hallo.ween decorations we have hanging over our slider.  Drew had so much fun decorating for Hallowe.en.  He is at such a fun age to enjoy all of the holidays this year.  I can't wait to celebrate each and every one!

25: Something Orange

The pumpkin that Drew painted at a local farm when we went for their fall fest over the weekend.  He is still talking about all of the colors he used when he painted the pumpkin.  He loved it so much that he had to paint two!

BTW:  This is our 600th post!!!

24: Peace

Nothing more peaceful than a sleeping child.

23: Sun

We went to a wonderful fall fest today and had lots of fun.  Drew painted pumpkins, we picked apples, went on a hayride, ate cider donuts and had apple cider and Drew had his face painted.  We found this wonderful SUNflower blooming at the farm.

22: Hands

Waving to Mom as we ride the carousel at a local fair.

20: Trees

The autumn colors have been spectacular.  We are just about a peak color and it is so pretty.
