Happy Birthday Henry!

This week was Henry's birthday.  Nick and mom went to the store and picked out a card to send in the mail.  Mom told Nick, "your little cousin is not little anymore, he is 10 years old." 

Then we looked at some old pictures of Henry on the computer.

This is Henry when he was a baby.

Hello Snowman!

Since the snowstorm, Nick has been asking to make a snowman.  Today dad and Nick went outside and made the snowman, they used buttons for eyes, a carrot for the nose, grapes for the mouth, branches for the arms, and then finished him off with a Santa hat!

Bye Bye Christmas Tree

It is January, the Christmas season is done.  Mom has been telling Nick we will put the tree outside on January 4, 2014.

This morning we looked at all the blog postings from the past, it reminded Nick that the tree has to go outside in January.

Then we took one last picture of the tree.  Mom got the storage boxes down from the attic and took off the ornaments and the lights.

Nick sat on the couch and watched mom work, he did not have a happy face.

Then mom put the tree outside.  Thanks to the snow the tree is standing up, still looking like a beautiful Christmas tree.

At night Nick printed pictures of the tree and showed them to mom.  Nick said, "Christmas tree in December."  Mom said, "that's right, the tree will be back in December."

Snowstorm

On Thursday night we had a big snowstorm.  Nick put on his boots and went outside to play.

Happy New Year!
