Getting Ready for Christmas and Enjoying the Snow

Layla had her first sledding experience yesterday with Joe! She wasn't happy about walking in the snow, but did like the sled ride.

Elv had fun chasing/being chased by the sled...



Lindsey and Jonathan came over this week to help while I'm on bedrest. I really appreciate it so that Layla can stay home with me (and I can therefore seen her)--otherwise she goes to baby-sitters every day.

Jonathan and Layla enjoyed watching a video together...both kids LOVE their pipes (which surprisingly Layla's isn't in on the pic) and their blanket buddies. I'm not sure when we'll make Layla give up her pipe--probably not anytime too soon. She's been begging for it more lately and I give in more since being on bedrest! :(

This is where we put Layla when she can't decide what toy she wants out of her trunk:). She actually plays in it for awhile.

Jonathan enjoyed playing in it too...

Joe was very nice and put up our tree and Christmas decorations on Thanksgiving with help from Layla.

Layla loved pulling out the ornaments. And since they've been put up, has actually been good about not pulling on them (or the tree). She loves to point out those she recognizes--Minnie, a bus, Elmo, bears, etc., but is even becoming less interested in doing that. She surprisingly isn't as excited about the gifts wrapped in Minnie and Elmo paper as I thought she would be.

She listened nicely to me from the couch when I asked her to pose by the tree. She doesn't smile for pics when you ask her to though...she needs to work on that key part of being in a picture:).

We just took Jonathan out in his sled yesterday too for the first time. He seemed to like it, although he didn't show a lot of emotion:) Those 2 sure make a cute couple! Glad to see you found your camera cord!
