We caught Reed doing this this morning. AWESOME!
He's never made us so proud. :)

Christmas Happenings
SNOW TIME
He hates his snow pants.
He liked touching the snow once he figured it out.
Daddy and Reed
There were many tears...I realized his snow boots were 4 sizes too big. That would explain why he could barely walk in them. Sorry Frog.
Frog and Snow Frog.
TEMPLE SQUARE
PLAYING SANTA
It has always been my dream for Kevin to play Santa. My dream, not his. But they found out in ward council that Kevin owned a Santa suit and our friend volunteered him to play Santa for the Ward Christmas party. He agreed only because he only had to hand out goodies to kids at the very beginning, then he could go change. Next year I'm going to ask if I can play an elf and hand out goodies too.
Most of the kids were happy to see Santa. Older kids were punks and pulled off his beard. One older lady asked if she could sit on his lap and asked for something awkward for Christmas. Kevin didn't let her sit on his lap.
Reed had no idea who Santa was.
FINGER PAINTING ORNAMENTS
I drew ornaments on cardstock and put paint on it to see what Reed would do. He was very confused at first.
He liked it best when I gave him spoons.
Of course he had to taste it...don't worry, it was made of flour and water. Still don't know how that would taste good, but he kept eating it.

Let the countdown begin!
24 more days until Christmas!!!
My first solo sewing project (that's a snow globe ornament). I feel pretty good about it. Though I had to completely redo the pockets because at first I only put 7 boxes across. Grrrr.....
But now it is done! Yaay!

A few videos
A few fun videos for your viewing pleasure....
Remember the dancing Frog? He's gotten more aggressive. Sometimes I think he'll rock the highchair over. He knows it's funny, so he'll do things just to make us laugh. It's awesome.
We were about 2 minutes too late on this video. The cute part happens in the first 5 seconds. But earlier, Reed would go press a button, then come get a kiss. Like 10 times. It was so cute!

Halloween Festivities
We had a great Halloween weekend! Kevin's company throws a HUGE party! Actually, they just decorate the buildings in different themes. They spent 2 weeks planning it and several days decorating. In fact, all the employees are required to stay and decorate the day before until it is finished (everyone started at 12pm and ended around midnight). It's serious business. And SO fun!
Work Party
I was an elf last year, but I didn't want to go buy another costume (I wear this every Christmas Eve--its main purpose). Kevin had a Santa suit on hand, so Reed had to fit the theme: Rudolph! I thought he made a very cute reindeer. It was so cute that tons of little kids would point out Santa and some even asked him for certain things for Christmas. I wish I could play Santa so bad!
G.I. Joe area. I think they brought all the plants from the building to make it look like a jungle. Cool, huh?
An employee dressed as Beetlejeuse. He played the part very well.
Watching "Thriller." Very cool.
Looney Toons.
Scooby Doo.
Flinstones car.
Pirate ship from Peter Pan. This was my favorite. The canons actually worked! (They shot air at you).
This guy got a $1000 for winning the costume contest. Can you guess who he is?? :)
Kevin's department won the decorating contest with Pac Man. Sadly, I didn't get any pictures. I guess they had employees dressed as Pac Man, Mrs. Pac man, and all the ghosts and they were all running through the maze they built.
Carving Pumpkins
We made Reed take out all the pumpkin goop. :)
Kevin's pumpkin--kinda looks like a frog, huh?
My pumpkin--notice the snaggletooth? I did that on purpose.
Trick-or-treating
We only went to two houses. Reed had no idea what was going on. He didn't even want to hold the bucket.
He did notice something in his bucket. I let him eat a couple pieces of chocolate on Halloween and he loves it (naturally). His face was like, "Holy cow, you've been holding out on me! Who knew food could taste so good?!"
Halloween party
Ghosts
Carrot finger dip
Eyeballs
Witch's brew
Puking pumpkin
Graveyard (contributed by our neighbors)
Carmel apples
The cupcake family: Ryan, Jayna, and Eliza
Aladdin and Charlie Brown: Chris and Allie
Condiments: Brian and Ann
We ate a ton of junk and played games late into the night. It was super fun! I'm just trying to hold tradition for Cassidy since she moved, though there is no way I could live up to her creativity!
