Gingerbread Houses

Last Sunday we were invited to a gingerbread house making party. It was the first time we've ever made gingerbread houses. It was great! B really got into all the candy and helped himself with great enthusiasm to everything within his reach while Nat and I tried to create a gingerbread house. I have to admit ours was the ugliest one, but we sure had fun making it!

Colonial Christmas

I love Williamsburg. If we could live in Williamsburg I think we'd be happy to stay in Virginia forever. We go up there every chance we get. For the past 3 Christmas seasons I've been dying to go and see the natural Christmas decorations that I kept hearing about. This year we finally made it up there during the Christmas season. Hooray! B absolutely loves the horses. Whenever we arrive in the parking lot he recognizes where we are and immediately starts talking about them and he's always the first to spot the horse-drawn carriages in the village. So we had to get a few pictures with Bpetting the horses. The decorations are just beautiful and are made of real fruit. I'm posting my favorite arrangement. Isn't it just lovely?

A Cold Day of Fun with Papa

Potty Training

I thought B was too young for potty training. About a month ago he came up to me in the kitchen and patted his diaper and said "toilet," then ran to the bathroom and stood at the toilet patting it just to make sure I understood him. I thought "Okay. We'll try if you want to." And amazingly he went! So Nat and I bought him his own little potty that he loves sitting on, but then he always wants to be held over the big toilet and then he goes. The other day I only had to change 2 diapers. He used the toilet the whole rest of the day! Amazing baby! Lucky Momma!

Holly Days Parade

Nat got to be on our ward's Christmas float this year for the Holly Days Parade in Hampton. He had a great time playing one of the three wise men. B and I weren't able to go as it was a really cold night and B was just getting over a cold. I stole this picture off of a friend's blog. If I can get her to send me more pictures I'll put them up too!

Softball

This post is a little late, but we sure had a good time at Nat's FedEx softball tournament. They were short a few players so we had 2 other couples come and join us. 3 of them were recruited to play which helped out the team and it was nice for B and me to have a little company while we watched. We did have a few injuries right at the onset though. Within 5 minutes of arriving Bfell on the playground equipment and got a fat lip and 10 minutes later our friends were warming up and Bryant accidentally hit his wife Kristie in the face with the softball and gave her a lovely big bruise on her right cheek!
