Best Books of 2010

Snowshoes

Jefferson and I purchased snowshoes last year and we loved them. This year we purchased snowshoes for Susan for Christmas so she could join us.  Levi goes along too but he rides in a very comfortable Deuter backpack all bundled up.  It was 30F outside yesterday and beautiful weather for snowshoes.

Typical Jefferson, always trying to get me to laugh.

Levi stands up, Jefferson scares Levi, Levi crawls away screaming

Levi finds some pizza sauce

Levi helped himself to a pizza and garlic sauce container from Papa John's Pizza. At first I thought he was bleeding, I think I should pay closer attention to what he's doing or something.

Jefferson at his School Variety Show

Okay, I shot this with my new phone, I have no idea how to rotate it but you can still hear him.  He tried out for the variety show a few weeks ago and made it into this final show, he did a great job!  I thought he was going to forget there at the beginning but he hit his stride and made us proud.   This was in front of his entire K-6 grade school by the way, I think Susan and I were more nervous than he was.  Today is his last day of Kindergarten, he's now a 1st grader.  He's growing up way too fast.

Levi and his new toy

We finally bought Levi a toy that was his very own. Every toy he has had until now was a hand-me-down from Jefferson. So, he's been admiring "Rex the Dinosaur" every time we've visited Toys R Us or WalMart. I finally decided to break down and just buy it for him. He played with it throughout the store in the cart, then in his car seat all the way home. Then we get home, un-box Rex and Levi decides all he wants to play with is the box. I wonder if they'll let me keep the box and return Rex? I doubt Levi would miss him and he sure is happy playing with the box.
