We've spent the last week learning all about Christmas. We are very excited by all the snowmen Mommy has around our house, and love to show you their mittens, hats, and buttons! We are trying to learn that Santa says "Ho, Ho, Ho" (and not just "Ho"). We also enjoy all the packages Mommy brings in the house - we love to go through them, if she lets us!
Grandma Estochen sent us Advent calendars - every day when we get home from daycare, Mommy lets us have the piece of candy for the day. Of course, we love to try to open all of the candy - but Mommy is faster than we are!
Aunt Renee and Uncle David gave us antlers last year - and we love to wear them around the house. We haven't quite figured out what reindeer say (if you have an idea, Mommy would love to hear it), so we dance and say "Gobble, gobble" (some Thanksgiving residual!).
Posing with our Christmas tree - Mommy's glad it's upside down, so most of the ornaments stay ON the tree!!
Mommy found us a magnetic snowman to dress-up, and hung it on the front door. We can play with it for HOURS every day.
We are learning about wrapping presents - we even helped Mommy "make" some wrapping paper this year! It could be coming to a store near you...
Did St. Nicholas come to your house? He came to our house, and brought us M&M's and new sweatshirts. When Mommy told us to look in our shoes, we went in the bedroom and got them... She's learning not to say things too literally around us!!
Saturday, it was very snowy out. We enjoyed watching Cy play outside, so Mommy got us all dressed up, too. Of course, by the time we were dressed, Cy wanted to come back in - and we didn't want to be outside without him. Mommy and Daddy had to convince us to try the snow by throwing very lightly packed snowballs at us. Then, we tested out walking in it. When our cheeks got bright red - and we had to come in - it was hard to understand "snow" and "no" in the same sentence. Sunday, we were so excited for the snow, we could hardly wait. Angie and Mommy took us outside in our sleds, made snow angels (we didn't like it), and went down the slide... again, we didn't want to come back in. It snowed a LOT last night, so we can't wait to go out there again!!
Stay warm!

Hey Girls,
We got your Christmas card the other day, always good to read your mommy's annual update! It is so funny because Mary's Grandparents are visiting and Mary calls Grandpa "Papa" too!
Have a great Christmas,
Ryan, Kate, Mary and Jackson Nelson
