First Snow!

Well, it wasn't exactly his first snow, but it was the first time he was able to actually play in it. Lets begin, shall we? First off, mama couldn't find his gloves - so we improvised with socks. He hated, I mean HATED the 'gloves'. He screamed when we put them on. He screamed with dad put his on. Strangest thing. So eventually we nixed the 'gloves'. 

We have split the pictures into 'pre-nap' and 'post-nap' for your enjoyment 

PRE-NAP:

Still getting used to the white stuff

Yup- there it is. What he did the entire time he was outside

Dad says 'whats your deal?'

 POST-NAP:

No gloves

He LOVED to shovel. Who knew?!

Daniel would get a scoop started and he'd push it

Being a big helper

Such concentration 

Look at my sweet little poof ball :-) 

It was heavy, wet snow and really hard to push- he did a good job though

This is him waving 'bye' to us because he was leaving to go get rid of the snow. 

Look at those rosy cheeks :-) I love him 

A video of the snow shoveling 

"Dad, my hands are cold and there is some white stuff on them..." 

Dad gets off the snow

And warms up the little frozen phalanges 

Alex's interpretation of Daniel warming up his hands :-) 

Daniel jumping in the deep snow

"I wanna come!!"

But really he wanted to be like dad and lay down in the snow 

Oh my gosh, I can't get over how adorable he is

Just me and dad 

Hangin out in the snow

Helpin' Mama

We had a glorious snow fall a little bit ago. So I decided to dust off the 'ol Kitchen Aid and make some cinnamon rolls. Alex loves nothing more than to help in the kitchen, so naturally he was my right hand man through the whole process. 

First you roll out the dough and then smash it with the empty cinnamon jar

Then you 'pat, pat' the cinnamon into the rolls

Ya, might as well get the whole arm involved. Make sure its good and stuck

Pat, pat the raisins in

He was much more interested in buttering the counter than posing for mama

Watch the oven and make sure they are baking

Eat a little breakfast while waiting (yes that is a lunchable - don't judge me:-))

Stir, stir the frosting

He really liked the oven mitt... who knew

All done!

Its chow time. One sippy has APJ and the other had hot chocolate...APJ won most of the attention
