Cookie Bake 2010

The great Stowe cookie bake happened for the 10th year in a row.  Other than my dad popping in and out, Art was the only guy there.

Spi-man

Papa Jim got him a tent that has Spiderman on it.  He loves playing in it and Brian got him to say "Spi-man."  It is super cute.

I put him in this t-shirt and I guess it inspired him to do crazy stunts on the windows.

He is showing off his boo boo.

Oh no, marker on the hands!

Randoms from November

Found this one in the archive.  I guess it never got scheduled to post...

We were sick at the beginning of the week and tried to keep our germs from ourselves.  This is the baby playing last week.

He actually put the Rock Band microphone up to his ear and said, "Hello?"

I did a little bit of Christmas shopping on Saturday and left the boys to watch football.  They had a guys' day.

SO Sorry to keep everyone waiting.  It has been a busy past 3 weeks and now we're sad that we have to wind down.  There are plenty of pictures to come!

Riding the carousel at North Point Mall.  He was hesitant at first, but I guess he enjoyed it.

Our friend, Brooke, in the background.  She's a pro at riding the horses.

He climbed into the wagon all by himself!

He is intrigued by the electrical outlets.  He also loved the electric knife.

We decorated cookies at a playdate before the holidays.  Well, I decorated; he ate.

 

Yum, Uncle Chris's Campbell's soup!

He did a little bit better with Santa.  Still upset, but better.

  

Here's a picture of all of the cousins in their matching PJs. It is so cute that Rowan is trying to hold their hands.

And one last one to wind down the year. Art's Santa picture of 2010.

Macy's Pink Pig

Hi everyone!  I have been a terrible blogger and hate to keep y'all waiting.  It has been a busy few weeks with everything going on (Christmas shopping, my new job (more to come!), and catering with my mom).  I can't keep up with it all!

Art and I went to a mom's group event at the Pink Pig a week or so ago.  You ride this little train ride around in a tent and it tells you a story about Priscilla and her family story.  I really can't remember if it was Christmas or her growing up.  I was excited to watch him!  

Art in the car about to leave the railroad station.  It was SUPER pink in there.

He's looking at the sights.

After the ride...he still has the same look on his face. Ahhhh, my little engineer just taking it all in.

Here's the group I went with. I'll type babies' names so you can get an idea of what people are using now.

Mom's names are first. Front row L-R: Kate and Tom, Meg and Will, Me and Art

Back row L-R: Renee and Jace, Alix and Annabelle, Lisa and Blakely, Laura and Brooke, Marina and Layla

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Brian is always bugging me that going to a big box store is not the way to obtain your Christmas tree.  Luckily, my Godparents own a Christmas Tree Farm in Peachtree City which is south of Atlanta.  It was tons of fun and we wished we could have had the other cousins there to join us. 

They had all sorts of fun activities including a pony ride.  Art got a lollipop from Santa so that made the ride exciting.

Then he dropped the lollipop.

Dad went to grab something so he didn't make it in the picture.

Then he made it for this one.

Papa Jim played hide and seek in the trees.  There were plenty to choose from.

An unsuspecting Arthur will soon be pounced on.

There was a hayride as well.  Art is watching it go by.

We found our tree!  It didn't look so large outside...(more to come on this one)

As usual, one guy does all the work while the others stand around and supervise.

The boys

Art is riding with GiGi

Ha, Santa in the driver's seat.

This is the usual face.

He was a little scared of Santa.  He must have known he was an imposter.

After the tree gathering, he was exhausted.  He slept the entire way home.
