Christmas Tree Pics

I had everything ready....pretty tree, cute pj's, a strand of lights for him to play with...and this is all I got!! Taking pictures of a 2 year old is way difficult!

 



Little People Nativity

Lance's aunt Tammy got a Little People Nativity for Sawyer before he was born. He played with it a little last Christmas, but this year he is LOVING it!! (I wonder if he'll have an obsession with nativities like his mommy?!) I'm so enjoying getting his Bible out and reading the story to him as we use his "little people" to act it out. I enjoy even more watching him retell the story.

Praise the Lord for the work He is already doing in Sawyer's little heart!

Things I want to remember:

He says "Minnie" for Mary
He calls Joseph, "Joseph Lance Cole" (because he is the daddy!)
He sometimes calls the wise men, "angels."
Mary always has to hold baby Jesus and he's always making baby Jesus call for her! "Mommy, come back, come back!"
He tells me that the wise men bring surprises to baby Jesus.

Trains

I moved Sawyer's basket of train tracks into his room and he has been playing with them so much more than when I had the basket in the living room. I'll go in his room and he will have built a big, complex track....he still needs help with bridges, though!

This morning he woke up, got out of bed, and started playing trains!

"Choo Choo"

Way Behind!

I am so behind with the blog.

Between Thanksgiving vacation, Sawyer breaking his collar bone, five thousand church meetings and events, and trying to take advantage of Shutterfly's deals for Christmas presents, I haven't had time to post....

Hopefully I'll catch up tomorrow!

In the meantime....here's the only pic I have of Sawyer in front of the Christmas tree this year! I need to work on that tomorrow, too!
 

Ducks

Sawyer and Uncle Brent made up a new game this past weekend.

It consisted of Uncle Brent squirting water all over Sawyer using his bathtime ducks!

 

"Gingerboy House"

There's an episode of Super Why about the "gingerbread boy" that Sawyer really likes. Last week I was at Aldi and found a make-your-own Gingerbread House set for only $5, so I got it for Sawyer to make. He was so excited!! While we were working on it, his Sunday School teacher from his toddler class, MJ and his wife, Cindy stopped by to give Sawyer a Christmas present, and then Sawyer wanted MJ to help him! So cute! Sawyer ADORES MJ!

A few minutes into decorating Sawyer discovered that he could eat the icing and candy....so decorating didn't last too long!
