Stripes & Dimples

Mason playing around and smiling.

Do you notice her dimples....I think they are on each side (just like Corben)

...

Corben loves to look at all of Mason's bows/flowers hanging on the wall...

he actually picked this one out for her to wear, so sweet.

Aunt Heather made the cute flower clip!

Christmas Pajamas

We let Corben open one gift early.....he was a pro at unwrapping the gift...
and he just loves his Mickey Mouse Christmas Pajamas
...
The problem now is that he wants to keep opening gifts every day!

The view from our upstairs patio
Since we didn't go outside today...we make a different kind of chex mix...
Snickerdoodle Chex Mix!
Corben loves using measuring cups and loves eating cereal out of the box!
Corben with jingle bells around his wrist moving them as fast as he can!
...
Note: The jingle bells were previously hanging on the Christmas tree, so yes, he has begun taking the ornaments off the tree! Oh fun!

Baby carrier

Corben walking around with the baby carrier....just like Mommy.

Mommy wears this often to carry baby Mason around!

Corben 22 months

Corben loves all things Christmas this December!

He will wear Santa's hat briefly!

He loves to touch the ornaments,

especially his ornament with a picture of him riding a train.
Sitting with the snowman as he puts the next star on the Advent calendar.

December 5th...let the countdown continue

He also discovered a Santa Snow Globe and loves to shake it!

Most of all he loves to play 'really close' to his new baby sister.
...

Since it was his 22 month birthday, I let him take a few pictures with my camera, the following are actual picture he took, I wasn't near the camera!

Baby Mason was his first model and she is actually centered in the picture- good job Corben!

Of course Dixie dog was also a model for Corben

She was really moving and kicking her feet and arms

Such a happy and alert baby!

Cousin Payton & Mason

Tonight we got a sweet surprise from cousin Payton and Nonie here to visit and spend the night. Mason gave out a few smiles and also "talked" quite a bit for cousin Payton.

They also helped give her a bath...which Mason just LOVES!!

Decorating the Tree

Daddy & Corben putting the angel on top of our tree
After Corben played with lots of ornaments and watched us put ornaments on the tree
he also wanted to hang ornaments....
so he climbed the ladder with help and put up a few ornaments!

Mr. Fix It

Anytime Corben gets ahold of Daddy's tools....he is all about "fixing" his cars and toys.

Looks like the Fire Engine needed to be "fixed" also.

Fall Leaves

We stopped at an orchard today and let Corben run through the leaves!
Smiling and running as fast as he can!

Stopping briefly to take a photo with Mommy

He loved picking up the leaves and throwing them down!

Daddy and Corben having fun

Running again

Smiling a lot!

Gorgeous fall leaves in the orchard!
