We enjoyed a great festive day today. We woke up to our first snow of the year (which is apparently very late for IL) and enjoyed a lazy day around the house. Highlights for Alec included shoveling the driveway (which took poor Matt almost 2 hours) and building his first Gingerbread House. Papa Randy and Retta sent our xmas presents this week and several of them we were allowed to open early, the Gingerbread making kit included. I was pretty impressed with how it turned out, and Alec is pretty impressed with how good it smells. Thanks Retta and P.R.
Enjoying our first snow
One of Alec's favorite new games is to pretend he is a dog like Brody - this is him pretending to "run crazy" in the snow like a dog.
So happy that his snowpants from last year still fit
And of course Papa Randy and Retta didn't forget Brody. Here he is with his mammoth sized dog bone that was delivered this week. It's almost as long as he is! We just let him sniff it to get some pics, b/c we are afraid of what might happen if we set him free with it in the house. He will have to wait for some warmer weather to enjoy it in the yard. Of course, I have been trying desperatly to get a cute pic of Alec in front of the tree and I am finally successful with the shot that includes the mammoth bone!
Attempting to take off with the bone, he failed!

I have to say it looks a lot more like Xmas at your house than mine! The snow, the tree, the gingerbread house and a giant bone for Brody outshine my still up fall/Thanksgiving decorations. Time to get into the swing of it I'd say.
Love the pics. And snow....we have no snow. Hard to ho ho with no snow. Good running like the dog Alec. Wish I was with you to build a snowman. Hugs from Bub
Snow!!! Looks like a lot of fun, and I am happy to see the down jacket stills works this winter :)
