December 2012

December is a busy month with Christmas and the boys' birthdays.  This December is the first in three years with snow.  Christmas just feels more like Christmas when it is winter.  We took advantage of the winter weather by sledding, building snowmen, having snowball fights, and seeing the Christmas lights.




 
The experiment!  Justin wanted to put marbles and some other things into water tinted with food coloring to see what would change color and what wouldn't.
We read a little about Hanukkah and played dreidel.  I had the boys make tally marks to show how the dreidel landed and then we graphed our results.

We went to the CdA resort to have their famous gooey desserts and to see the Christmas lights in the downtown area.


 

The boys have really enjoyed building different marble runs.

We made "gingerbread" houses out of graham crackers, frosting, and candy.  Ryan ate more candy that he used on his house.

We decorated Christmas trees.  The boys really like the peel and stick foam stickers.  Basically the more they peel and stick, the better.

Sledding on Cherry Hill!  I can't believe I let Ryan go down alone.

Play doh!  Grandma doesn't mind the clean up as much as I do.  I swear they somehow get it all over.

Our snowman.

Snow angels.

Down the hill in the yard.  Not as big as Cherry Hill, but still fun.
My baby turned four.  I can't believe it.
My big boy turned 6. :)
