Togetherness

As a brief side note, we are in the single digits on our Christmas countdown!  I can't believe it is so close!  It took me a little while to get into the spirit this year, but now that the cookies are baked and packaged and the presents are all wrapped up I am starting to get pretty excited.  Speaking of Christmas here is my handsome boy in his suit:


So since Elizabeth has become more mobile she gets to go where she wants and more often than not it is wherever her big brother is.  It has been such a joy to see them play together.  There are many battles for toys.  She wants his, he wants hers, but there is the rare moment when you get to hear them giggling together.

Chasing each other while showing off a train Christmas card

Cuddling with Mommy after/during naptime

The train is always a huge battle, but this particular day Jason was willing to share.

Making a gingerbread house together.  Jason ate half of the candy, but I think everyone had fun.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

So now our house is all decked out and cleaned up for Christmas...well it was all clean when these pictures were taken 2 days ago.  Now I am looking at trains on the TV table and baby toys on the ground, but we can a pretend a little bit.  I also realized that I never did an after post since we moved into our house so you can count this as the after to this before. 

On another very postive note Jason, our little boy who doesn't speak, said tortilla this morning!  I am trying not to get my hopes up that he is going to burst into speach, but what a Christmas miracle that would be!
