1st Snow of 2011

Our first big snow (for us) hit last night dropping a little over 4 inches.  It made for lots of fun on a day when most things were closed.

 Our bowl of snow ice cream we enjoyed for breakfast.  It was super yummy as you can tell by the smile on Rhodes' face.

 Getting ready to go sledding for the first time.

All done, taking the sled to the garage.

Big Boy Bed

We have officially made the move to a big boy bed.  He loves his new bed and has been really good about staying in it at night.  It was a really easy transition.

More Christmas Pics

 This is what Rhodes did in his free time at GiGi and Papa's house.  He has a couple of games he loves to play on the ipad.

 Our visit with Santa was not a very enjoyable one for Rhodes this year.  This is as close as he would get to the bearded man.

 Using his new "cheese" to take pictures of everyone.  He loves taking pictures!

 Trying to figure out how to use the new sleeping bag that Aunt Jan and Uncle Bert sent him.

His new sleeping bag with his name monogrammed on it.

Gingerbread House-Attempt

An attempt was made last night in our house to build a Gingerbread House.  Rhodes loved all the yummy candy that came with the kit.  The house building didn't go so well.

Bedtime Snack

Before Rhodes goes to bed every night he shares some milk and cookies with his daddy.

Turkey Time

 Our Thanksgiving was spent with family in Alabama where we ate lots of food, did a little shopping, played at the park, and just relaxed.  We have so much to be thankful for and it was wonderful to spend time with the ones we love.


 The week started off with the birth of our sweet little nephew, Zachary Amos Fuller

Born: November 22
