Snowmobiling - the next generation

James got a snowmobile for Christmas. It's a toss-up whether he or Andy was more excited about it! After we finished up a few things on it, James took it for a spin.

Tree Trimming - 2

Setting up some carousel horses I had when I was a little girl.

Finding the perfect spot for the ornament.The finished tree. Not sure why the crazy pose. He's 3. He does weird things.

This is what happens when the short kid is in charge. A lot of ornaments on the bottom foot of the tree :)

Christmas Tree - Part 1

First we had to find the perfect tree.

Had hopes of taking a photo of James next to the tree/height stick. He had other ideas.

The first job - lights.

James helping. (Not really.)

The tree is lit!

How I look?

After bathtime, James combs his own hair.

He doesn't use a mirror.

Can you tell?

Pumpkin Carving Fun

James was looking forward to carving a Jack 'O Lantern. He wanted a "Swiper" 0ne (a character from Dora the Explorer). He saw it on tv - unfortunately he has lazy parents.

Here he is waiting for Andy to open up the pumpkin.

Totally posed shot. He stuck his arm in, gagged, and declared it "Totally gross." So really, Andy carved a pumpkin.

James dictated where the eyes, nose, and teeth went. Then supervised the carving process.

And of course posed with the final result.

All lit up.

Crash 'n Burn

James was outside playing with friends. He came in and had this on his elbow. We asked what happened. His response "I crashed and burned." This is why little boys wear helmets.

Choo Choo!

After potty training for about 300 years, James seems to have finally decided that it's better to go in the potty, rather than his pants. His parents are greatly relieved.

To celebrate, he got a Thomas the Train set. A BIG Thomas the Train set.

It seems to have come with about 10 miles of track. And a remote control. That makes noise. And has no volume control. Thanks Nana.
