Ball Heaven

Grant sent this very cool ball bin to Joshua for Christmas. Joshua was in ball heaven!!! He absolutely LOVES this toy. Thanks Grant!! (And thank your parents for us, too! ;) )

What a fun few days! We had Jeremy's family out here for the holiday. Joshua had a great time with them and all of the rest of the family, too. Here are a couple of photos- his grandmas taught him how to toast!

Grant's Card

Joshua received a card from Grant today. It was a decorate your own card type thing. He was very thorough and worked hard on it. Here are the photos-so cute! Oh, and in case you are wondering about that band-aid on his wrist-He had to have these Dora band-aids! Now, whenever he notices the box in the cupboard, he wants to wear one. He's so silly.

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. :)
