Snow!

About a week before Christmas, we had some snow finally! We didn't have much last winter and haven't really had any this winter. I had to take Ren out in it to play. He looked so cute all suited up!

The only waterproof mittens we had were Sutton's, so they were way too big. So Ren alternated between wearing the too-big mittens, and taking them off and grabbing the snow with his bare hands. He'd get cold and want to put them back on. But when he had them on, he couldn't really grab the snow. It was a vicious cycle.

Below, he was saying "cheeseburger!!!!!" but the sun was so bright he had to close his eyes.

I had the idea to get his sand toys out to use in the snow and that was his most favorite thing. Lots of scooping snow into buckets.

I made him a little snowman and he was so sad when we went back outside a few days later and it was gone. :(

Sutton Lost his First Tooth!

Sutton had had a wiggly tooth for a looooooooong time. He was terrified to do anything more than just wiggle it a little himself. He wouldn't let any of us touch it. Finally, it came out on Thanksgiving night, as he bit into a roll at dinner. Hooray!

His other front tooth is also loose now, so we'll see if we can sing the "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth" song this year!!
