Santa's Visit

We had fun at the Firefighters' Christmas party this past Thursday. To the left Colton is singing Christmas carols with the other kids. If you don't see him right off - he went and stood right up front. He tried to get right up to the microphone that was his height but Mommy pulled him away before he could pull it over!


Colton was so excited when Santa came in with big sacks of presents. He was ready to run up and see him. Daddy and Mommy were surprised - we thought he may be afraid. But as you can see - Colton ran right up when it was his turn and got on Santa's lap for his gift. He even smiled and said "cheese" for Mommy to take the picture. Good job, Colton! Maybe we'll see Santa again before Christmas is over!

Cookie Baker

It's been icy and cold the last few days so I thought it would be fun to let Colton help me bake some Christmas cookies. He had a lot of fun and made a big mess. He assisted me in dumping the ingredients into the bowl - if I forgot to hand it to him he would remind me by saying "No, 'Tolton' dump" - he also took a turn at rolling the dough, cutting the shapes and icing the cookies. I think his favorite part was tasting everything! Here's our little 'cookie monster'.
