Oh the weather outside is frightful ...

I can already tell, this winter is going to be an adventure. Get ready!

Hanging out in my snow boots, just waiting for someone to get the hint.
It's hard for people to take me seriously about going outside, when I look so cute in nothing.

Picking out the tree at Rockland Nursery. Dan and Sam go over the game plan.

Sam trys to convince his Dad that he has found "the tree"

Done deal. This kid got his way!

After we got the tree on Saturday, we celebrated winter with a romp in the snow. Sam still isn't quite sure about the snow, he is still figuring it out. It usually takes a few snow balls and he is ready to come in (I think it is because he can no longer feel his fingers), we are working on keeping the gloves on.

The next day, Dan and I decorated the tree. New routine, do it while Sam is sleeping and then he may not be interested in the pretty ornaments. Breakables at the top, kid friendly at the bottom.

Starting to feel the cabin fever kick in. We have started to dress up Sam for our own entertainment. He does put on quite the show. It's funny to hear him crack himself up.

Wearing mommy's swim goggles.

We got a pretty good storm last week and Grandma and Papa were up for a visit. Grandma helps Sam get into his snow suit for the first time. He looked like a big red marsh mellow.

Anybody seen "The Christmas Story"

Ultra close up of the rosy cheeks.

Later that day, Sam got a box from his Grandma and Pap in the mail. Grandma got him an apron so that he can wear it when he helps mommy bake cookies. He wasn't too happy about it at first, but he got upset when I tried to take it off him before he went to bed.
