Christmas Preparation Part 2

Wally and I decorated Christmas cookies. I made the first batch of frosting too runny, but ran out of powdered sugar, so it was just a sloppy mess...Wally loved it! No one but us was allowed to eat the cookies considering the "hygiene" that may or may not have been.
Here is the translation for the following video: "I love doing bells with pink!" Wally's favorite cookies to decorate were like Grandma Mary's, the bells.

We got a lot of snow. Joel may not have had fun shoveling, but Wally sure had fun in it!


Our little angel. His first attempts at making snow angels were unsupervised until I noticed him crying. He didn't like the snow on his face. I then had to tell him to make the angel while laying on his back.
Our neighbor girl and her friends make great snow caves. This year they made one that was an actual tunnel with 2 doors. Wally thought that was great. Too bad the snow plow came around the next day and crushed it.Wally had his friend Joel over to play in the snow. Two 3-year olds and a huge pile of snow makes for a great time.
Here is a picture of our Christmas tree. It was so lopsided that the first night it was set up, it fell over. We then proceeded to tilt it way back against the wall and tie it to the banister. How we didn't realize how lopsided it was when we chose it, we don't know. It was beautiful though and Wally sure enjoyed it. When we took it down, Wally's version of Jingle Bells. He is still singing the tune of Jingle Bells, but inserts his own words or weird sounds.

Wally is/was very into "show time," where he takes us into his room and sings and dances for us. Here is Joel's favorite, for obvious reasons. The show was called "Baseball."

  1. I am going to be so sad when Wally outgrows that sweet innocence. His songs are so cute. The snow angel story is funny - reminds me when Ryan asked what to do with Easter Eggs and I said we eat them so he bit into it and cried because he didn't like Easter eggs. We forget that little kids are so literal and trusting about what we tell them.
