Our Big White Christmas 2010...

I got to have my white Christmas at work, and thank goodness it did not stick in Tuscaloosa so I could get home to my family for Christmas dinner and gifts. John Huston did see a few snowflakes but no snow pictures. We ate Christmas dinner at MeMe & Pop's and opening the remaining presents there.

John Huston's Christmas loot (from everyone)

Must have had a good little boy this year...

Santa came to see John Huston a day early....

I had to work on Christmas Day this year, so we celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve this year. MeMe & Pop and Nanny came over for a Christmas brunch and to see what Santa brought JH. He really got into opening presents and showing off his toys more than I thought he would. Next year will be the big year for Christmas..and I will be off for it :)

Look at what I found (2 sided table Lloyd made)

barn with fence full of cows and horses

he loved opening presents!

Last month as a One Year Old!

Ahh, it's Christmas Eve. And on the Eve of Christmas, I am reminded of John Huston turning 23 months old. His 2nd year has really gone by fast. He is talking more and saying things right after we say them. He is such a big helper as he knows when to throw things away in the garbage can, put silverware in the sink, pick up his toys and put them in the basket and continues to help us with cleaning chores as he wipes up messes and uses the swiffer vac. He now loves to take showers and it is hard to keep his little tail in the bathtub. He also loves to put on his shoes, especially his rainboots. His bathtime ritual after putting on his pajamas and brushing his teeth is putting on those rainboots! I can't believe it's almost time for his 2nd birthday!

Our Mini Handyman

John Huston loves to go with Lloyd in his shop while Lloyd works on his Handyman's tasks. Last night he begged Lloyd to let him use his sander, and when Lloyd gave in, this is what he did....

As you can tell, he has been really watching Lloyd sand as he picks up the sander several times and makes sure the sandpaper is still on there good and hasn't worn down. Next, he went a step up and wanted the big sander and used it exactly like Lloyd uses it, with the leg rocking and all. He is professional woodworker in the making!!
