First Christmas of the Season



Catching up on the advent pages. The lollipop is the first candy Bowie has had. He wasn't sure what to do with it. I showed him to lick it. After about 15 minutes, it still looks totally whole. But he had a great time!

After going to the sweet baptism of our friend Oslo on Saturday morning, we drove to Dallas for our Stutsman Christmas. It really felt like Christmas. We ate great food and better dessert. Bowie is singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" and "Rudolph". It's super adorable.

Bowie enjoyed opening presents but someone else's was just as interesting as his own. The highlight was the many many balloon hats and figures made by Chris. He got a balloon blowing kit and immediately got to work, making a dog without even looking at the book. He amazes me all of the time.

Now I need to find places for all of our new, fun things. Bowie got a beautiful easel from his grandparents. Hopefully I'll get through with the "work" soon and we can go outside and paint (the weather is very nice, no threat of icicles.)
