Merry Christmas

Adios, Baby Mullet

As you can see in previous posts, Tommy's hair was turning into a baby mullet....I didn't mind until lately, when it was really unruly and would stick out or curl over his ears. It was time for a haircut.

Getting him to sit required the movie Cars to be playing and a lollipop in hand - he did quite well - oh, and french fries for lunch. Now he looks very grown up!

Our Second Snow Day, 2008

This past Sunday morning was sunny and not too cold -- while we shoveled the driveway, Tommy rode his tractor around and loved it. He was bundled up in his snowsuit and boots this time, and was very, very warm! He had a blast running around our yard and the neighbor's yard, making tracks in the snow, and making snow angels.

Trekking across the neighbor's back yard - yes, they knew we were there and they don't mind!

Snow angel!

Our First Snow Day, 2008

Tommy loved playing in the snow! We bundled up and headed out - he grabbed his tractor from the garage and drove it around in the snow. After a few minutes (and refusing to put on any mittens) he said, "mama, cold, inside." So we headed in.....and now he wears his mittens!

Thanksgiving

Tommy's cousin Ryan was home for a week from college during Thanksgiving - he babysat for us a couple of times, and this is what I came home to one evening - Tommy completely zonked out after lots of playing! He had a blast with him and we hope he comes back during his long Christmas vacation!








Apparently my camera was not easily accessible during our Thanksgiving trip to my Mom's, since these are the only pictures I got.....

Tommy, Henry, and Charlie playing with cars, tractors, and trains - and usually fighting over them as well!
