He played happily with the lights for half an hour, mostly trying to eat them, until mean mom got worried about electrocution and lead poisoning and took them away...
Big boy and his Christmas tree! He hasn't even tried to knock it down yet, though we moved most of the fun stuff up to the top half of the tree.
This weekend we got our first real snowfall of the year - about 4 inches. Saturday we planned to take Colin out in it, but he woke up from his nap with a fever and was just a whimpering mess. So we spent the afternoon with him cuddling on my lap, watching Christmas movies while the snow fell. As much as I hate seeing him sick, it wasn't a bad way to spend the afternoon. We had to miss out on a playdate and our friends' christmas party, so we were bummed about that, but I was pretty worried about the little guy. Luckily the next morning his fever was down a little and he seemed to be feeling better. So we did get some play time in - he did surprisingly well in the snow, just didn't seem to care for the cold wind.

Hopefully he's back to normal today. We attempted daycare today so fingers crossed I don't get "the call" to come retrieve him once his Motrin wears off... Have a great week and stay warm everyone.
*Is there any worse Christmas song out there? Not if you worked at Shop 'n Save during Christmas for four years. I can't hear that or "the most wonderful time of the year" without suffering extreme grocery store PTSD.

The worst song is, "Granny Got Run Over by a Reindeer," hands down. Also terrible is any song "sung" by barking dogs. Linda W.
PS. Sitting there with those lights - he looks so much like a little Christmas angel! Thanks for sharing the first snow and first Christmas he was aware of! Gr L
