Thank you Mom and Dad!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  The food was wonderful and the company was even better!  Below are some of the activities where we took pictures.  Some of he things we didn't get pictures of include a fabulous dinner, sledding behind a 4-wheeler which Kael called the motorcycle sled and he loved it!  We played a fun knew game called Jungle Speed, did some black Friday shopping, decorated a Christmas tree, and sang carols.

Out of the cold and reading the paper with Grandpa!

 Dancing  to a juke box with Aunt Kristy
and walking in a winter wonderland!

Visited a spinning store! (kael-ism)

Thankful for ... Snow!

I usually don't feel ready for Christmas until after Thanksgiving but this year we have 5 inches of snow and feezing tempertures. I just feel ready for Christmas a little bit early!

In an effort to not forget Thanksgiving I am thankful for Snow but more specifically how much fun little boys have in the snow.

 Silas likes to eat the snow.  It is a lot of work to bundle him up for the 5 minutes that he enjoys it.  And the only pictures/video of him in the snow is of him crying.  He prefers to be in my arms while out in the freezing cold, which is smart cause I know how to carry him in super fast if ye gets too cold!

 Barak really loves it when Kael plays in the snow with him.  Every boy needs a puppy!

Happy Birthday Baby Silas!

 I  can't believe he is already one year old!  This little boy knows how to be funny.  He frequently crawls away at top speed while giggling and then turns around just to see if I will follow.  And when I do follow his little feet and legs move so fast, he then laughs so hard that "splat" he is on his belly on the floor because who can laugh and crawl at top speed at the same time?  Silas knows that pillows are fun; whenever he sees one he raises both arms, timbers over from his knees, and buries in his face.

Silas knows how to hug.  He just wraps his arms around and rests his head, it is so sweet.  He knows that his daddy is awesome.  If I am holding him, Adam is the only one he will reach for with out-stretched arms. He can say "Dada" quite well.  If  Silas is with me when I sneak into my room while Adam is sleeping he will say "Dada" quietly.

Silas loves to watch his brother.  He will giggle with delight when he sees his brother run past.

Silas can say "hot," "hat," and I am starting to think that baba means ball.

I love this little boy!

Can you see what is peculiar about this picture?
