Fun and Games

This is Riley...er...I mean BumbleBee Transformer playing Farkle with
the family.

Lunch with the girls

So Hannah sent out a mass email to a bunch of our old friends from
high school to see if anyone was in town and wanted to do lunch. It
was so much fun to get together and catch up on everyone's life. I
miss my awesome friends and sometimes wish that we were all still
around and had an excuse like high school to see each other regularly.

The tooth fairy's gift

I am a few days late posting this but here is Riley finding the gold
dollar that the tooth fairy left.

It's gone! It's gone! It's really gone!

So it has finally happened! Riley had his shirt pulled up around his head, laughing and pretending that his muscles were too big to pull the shirt all the way down. Part of the shirt was in his mouth and when he pulled it out, it snagged on his loose tooth and out it popped! He was stunned at first, just staring at the tooth in his hand in surprise.
Then he got a little sad because he said that it hurt.
But now, he is very excited for the tooth-fairy to come and visit us tonight and for him to go to school and show all his friends his hole.

Riley-ism

Riley: guess what? I'm going to marry Emily.
Me: oh yeah? Why do you want to marry Emily?
Riley: Because she's my best friend.
Me: why is she your best friend?
Riley: because she chases me lots.
Me: you like to be chased huh?
Riley: yes. I love to run.
Me: well that's good.
Riley: she was wearing pink boots today and I told her I loved them.
Me: you love her pink boots huh?
Riley: yes because pink is a color in the rainbow and I love all the
colors of the rainbow.
Me: that's great honey.

Let it Snow!

Please note the huge pile of snow on the lid of our garbage can. That
is all from the huge storm that dumped on us just from today. Winter
is here!

Happy Christmas!

This is what happens when Riley is left unattended in the bathroom
with some dry erase markers. It says to everybody to everybody
December happy Christmas happy Christmas. Then he counted up the
number of e's in December and drew a Christmas tree.

Tis the season

Ok, so we are a little slow getting our tree up downstairs. Upstairs is decorated but the tree downstairs has been a project that I just haven't had the time or energy to face until today (even though Reed put the tree up for me several days ago.) Riley is helping untangle lights and he says wearing the lights this way makes him look like a mailman.
