let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

So sweet and innocent, hard to believe that it took forever to get him to quit trying to eat the Christmas lights and pose for the picture!

Christopher found a bucket playing with all the toys downstairs and decided to look what was inside!

Since it's a little cold, snowy, and windy outside today, I thought I'd get an early start on blogging, although by the end of the weekend, we may have more pictures to add!

This past week, we took family pictures along with Christopher's 9 month pictures. Let's just say that now that he's mobile, pictures were a little more difficult. We even included the dogs in a few of the pictures (per Ryan's request), and Ryan will tell you that the dogs were probably easier to photograph than what Christopher was! But, we got it all done and we're sure there is at least a few good ones in there!

Ryan has been keeping incredibly busy with his refing lately, so that has left a lot of time for Christopher and I to play! He loves his books and every night we read through at least 5 or 6! He loves the touch and feel books we have where he can pet the farm animals or monsters in the book! We've also caught him twice this week throw all his toys out of his little toybox and climb inside and play! He is still a little monkey and loves to climb and learn new things every day!

Hope you all enjoy the snowstorm this weekend, we're all prepared to watch snow fly! The other night with the first snow, we took Christopher out and he just looked in amazement at all the snow and the big huge flakes that kept hitting his face! If you're not happy with the snowstorm this weekend, this past week Ryan and my brother Brent were really hoping for a light dusting of snow so they could spot coyotes easier on their hunts! We hope everyone enjoys this "light dusting"!
