It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas...

The air is cold, the tree is up (and has been since after Thanksgiving), and the lights are finally up outside, AND it even snowed yesterday! It is definitely beginning to look a lot like christmas!

November Recap

I thought it would be easiest to put the pics I took from November in one blog...

Thanksgiving Feast at Julia's school- November 24, 2009
At Julia's preschool, they had a schoolwide Thanksgiving feast the week of Thanksgiving. Both of Julia's grandmothers (Nannie and Nan) were there to share in the feast. Julia seemed a little overwhelmed by it all (she had a cold and was coming down with Croup but we didn't know that until Wednesday), but I still managed to get some cute pics.










Ladybug Costume
Around Halloween, in Julia's class, they had a bog dress-up box full of different costumes. Julia quickly found a ladybug costume and put it on frequently at school. Right now, Julia is really into ladybugs and butterflys. One afternoon, early on in November, I managed to get a couple cute pics of her in the costume.


Nannie's Birthday- November 28,2009
For my mom's birthday, I thought it would be neat if Julia decorated a homemade card for her. You can't get much better than a homemade free birthday card. Julia worked on the card for about ten minutes, coloring over the butterfly and ladybug I drew and also coloring over the words I had written. She did a great job!

Making the crayons "dance"



I love my crayons!

Let It Snow!

I cannot believe it snowed earlier today! I was giving Julia lunch and Andrew looked out the window and exclaimed that it was snowing! We bundled Julia up and took her outside to introduce her to snow. It was fun to watch her see the snow fall and even catch a flake or two on her hands/mittens. I couldn't pass up the chance to get some pictures and video of our little snow angel! Maybe next time it snows, there will be some accumulation on the ground...I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...











And to finish this post off, I have a video of Julia's first interaction with snow!
