Not exactly Santa's reindeer, but...

Christmas 2008 was spent with Grandma Merry and Grandpa John at the family farm.  Jacob was ENTHRALLED with the deer head hanging in the office.  He kept saying, "BUCK!" Over and over and over and over...  When you would lift him up to see it, he initially shied away.  By the end of the few days we were there, though, he would pet the deer.  Hilarious!
Hopefully this will not have any ill-effects on his ideas about Santa's reindeer.  :)

SNOW much fun!

This past weekend, we decided to have a little family fun in the snow, since this is really the first winter that Jacob could play outdoors. So we BUNDLED up and headed outside. At first, Jacob didn't know what to think about the cold, white, powdery stuff that didn't have any resistance when he pushed on it. :) But then he got the hang of it. Daddy helped him walk around in it for awhile. Then he put Jacob in a laundry basket and pulled him around the front yard and on the newly snowblown sidewalk. Jacob had a BLAST! I think you can tell from the huge grin in the photos below. Happy winter!
