So right after the beach pics, come the snow pics... and I'm late posting these too. These happened mid-January.
This was JL's first real experience with snow that I can remember. The snowflakes stuck together and floated down in large clumps, which made it fun to watch and easy to photograph.
This is my favorite pic from the evening. It looks like he is watching the snow, but most probably he is looking for the "Mu" (moon) or a "vee-uu" (airplane, that's the sound it makes according to him). He probably spends a third of his outside time looking up. :)

...and how it accumulated (unfortunately JL was in bed at this point)
Here is JL looking at the Christmas tree soon after we set it up. He would squint at the lights whenever we turned them on.
Helping Daddy start a fire in the fireplace Christmas morning. This is the first year we have used our fireplace and we're really enjoying it. Jon is loving chopping down dead trees in our side lot and splitting firewood (I'm not kidding - for Christmas he got an axe! :). I'm loving roasting marshmellows and drinking hot chocolate in front of a toasty fire!
