First snow




This week went by quickly. The best part was getting our very own Christmas tree on Tuesday (the first time Mommy and Daddy have had our own tree since we grew up) and downloading lots of favorite Christmas music from Itunes. (I was thrilled! I love Christmas!) Aidan continued to entertain us with his language. At bathtime one day, as he watched the water spin down the drain, he said: "the water spins around the tornado, and it goes on a boat, and it goes on a train, and it has dinner!" He also claimed, very emphatically, that: "I am NOT kissable" (though he wasn't very convincing about this, despite his emphasis!).

This weekend, we had a lot of fun. On Saturday, it snowed for the first time this year, and we made gingerbread cookies! We all loved them, and it made the day felt so merry and bright. :) On Sunday, we went to Costco and went back a couple of times to the fudge tasting both, as well as having a good shopping run. Mommy also got some work done and visited with some college friends, and Aidan and Daddy also went on the trains to the Innwood parks.



One of the games which Aidan has liked playing recently is a singing game where we alternate singing parts. So, for example, he'll start singing "A, B, C, D" and then pause, and then we sing "E, F, G" and then he chimes in again "H, I J, K" and so on. He especially likes doing it with songs he knows really welll, like ABC, Twinkle Twinkle, and Old MacDonald. It's fun!
