Bubble Boy

Best part of our day

Aren't you a J.Crew model?

Jones loves a good game of dress up and seems to have chosen a very rugged yet classy look today. He's developing his own signature line.

It's cold.

But he's got a new hat. So that's pretty great.

Cabin Fever

Spending the weekend indoors because Jones and I are sick and disgusting was not our idea of celebrating the first snow of the season. So I forced Scott to take us outside for a few minutes today so we could breathe in some fresh air and frolic in the snow. It was as refreshing as I had hoped it would be and I can't wait to do it again. Maybe next time we'll have our own sled and we won't have to "borrow" one that happens to be sitting out by the mailboxes.

May this photo stand as proof to my father that I do in fact own a warm coat and a pair of winter boots. I know he's always worried that I'm going to run around in flip flops all winter like I did at BYU.

It's okay to force feed your child snow, right? Because I think it was clean. Pretty sure.

How could I leave out the festive Chinese baby come to bring us holiday cheer and good luck?

Christmas countdown

In the spirit of starting our own Christmas traditions, we decided to make a Christmas countdown chain tonight listing all of the things each of us enjoys about Christmas. Jones' list included shredding paper and clapping (his activities during the assembly process). As soon as the chain was completed Jones tried to destroy it. Of course.

I gave Scott the task of taking a picture of the three of us with the chain and the photos below are the best he got. Our baby hates us. And probably Christmas too.
