Gingerbread houses

We had a few friends over to decorate gingerbread houses. The kids ate way more of the goodies than they used to decorate the houses! Joshua loved the frosting and goodies. He could hardly keep himself from tearing into the house itself. (I finally let him.)

Practicing

I had Joshua stand by the tree to "practice" taking his Christmas picture. Of course, he wanted to show off his huge cheesy smile. He does three faces on command-a cheesy smile, a surprised face and a pouty face. He cracks me up!!!

Trimming the tree

Joshua loved the "ball" ornaments. So much actually, we decided to put them away for this year. He kept taking them down!! For the most part, the ornaments are staying on the tree. Last year, they all had to be out of his reach.

Not a lot going on these days. Here's another cute picture of Joshua's smile. He does this when he sees the camera!

My Teddy Bear

Joshua was a teddy bear for Halloween. He hated the costume for the first few minutes but then realized it could be fun. He got the hang of trick-or-treating pretty quickly.

Pumpkin Patch

This was Joshua's first trip to the pumpkin patch. He ran around and had a great time. The pumpkin he chose is huge! We'll be carving it and roasting seeds later today.

He loves his dog!!

Joshua loves to give Rocky hugs and kisses. Not sure Rocky loves it, but he tolerates it. :)

Bouncy, bouncy!

First snowfall

It snowed last night for the first time this year. By the time Joshua woke up, it had already started to melt, but he was enthralled with it anyhow. Joshua got a kick out of watching Rocky eat the snow off of the back porch and brought a handful into the house with him. Joshua had a pretty funny reaction to it when he tasted it.

Dancing

Joshua loves to dance. Jeremy has some good tunes on his cell phone and Joshua will carry it around dancing to them. At the end of this quick video, he puts the phone down so he can get his groove on a little better!! :) He's so funny!!(I have no idea why my sound won't work so if anyone knows...help me!!)
