November and December 2011


 NOVEMBER 2011

This month went by so fast! We had Thanksgiving at my brother's house where he deep fried a turkey. It was tasty! Nick has been trying to convince me to get a deep fryer for this very purpose. I'm still not convinced but I really liked the turkey. Nice try though...

I made some homemade finger paints so we could paint some fall pictures. Jonah  wasn't as interested in painting as he was in eating the paint. (it's edible)

I did a lot of baking over the holidays. Jonah likes to "help" me in the kitchen.

 DECEMBER 2011

We celebrated Christmas twice this year. Once with Nick's family and again with my side of the fam. Jonah had some experience opening presents by now and by the time we got to the 2nd Christmas, he was a pro. I'm pretty sure he ended up opening mine and Nick's presents as well as his own.

Jonah helped decorate the tree this year. It was so cute! He couldn't really get the hooks on the branches so he needed help on every single one. It was a little tedious but we got it done. It was hard to get him to leave the ornaments on the tree. I kept finding him with a snowman and a drummer boy fighting to the death.

His stocking is deeper than his arm is long.

He loved his cars though.

Aunt Michelle made ginger bread houses and you are not allowed to eat anything off of them until after Christmas. However, Uncle Mike had been picking at it all day. Jonah decided to try some. I'm pretty sure he had observed his Uncle's sneakiness and decided he'd try to be sneaky too.
Here he goes...
 

Almost got it...
Nope! Aunt Michelle caught him. He got pretty close though, and this was not the only time he tried. I'm sure he got some while no one was looking:)
So, Jonah decided to put on some of Daddy's clothes. I would have gone for a shirt but, to each his own.
