One of Holden’s favorite things to do in the kitchen is to make homemade pizza with Matt. He always pulls a piece of dough out to have his own personal dough ball. He helps with the whole process and makes his own mini pizza for himself. It’s bite-sized so he usually has a few pieces of the big pizza too!
Holden got himself all ready to watch the NHL on TV! I just love this kid:)
Nannie bought Holden some new, fancy crayons for Christmas to color with. They are special twistable crayons that make much darker, and more colorful marks on paper. Holden has had a great time with them. Last night he kept asking us what color Big Bird’s legs, arms, nose, etc. were. Then he announced that he had colored himself like Big Bird. Here he is:)
Holden has been potty trained since October which is great and at night he usually has a dry pull-up. But tonight we heard some commotion upstairs after he went to bed. Matt went up to check on him and he had changed out of his pull-up and put on his underwear because he wanted to be a big boy. Such a cutie! Then he went right to sleep:)
The other night, we heard Holden opening the dresser drawers in his room after we put him to bed. There wasn’t much noise, so we thought nothing of it. When I went in to check on him an hour later, he was buried under this blanket, asleep on the floor. The next morning I asked him what happened and he said that he was looking for a blanket to be cozy on the floor:) Such a cutie!
Nannie gave Holden popsicle molds for Christmas. He was so excited to make them! Thanks Nannie!
Holden has loved helping us cook lately! He loves to taste the food that we are making and gets his knife to help cut. It takes a lot of work considering it is just a spreader and does not have a serrated edge:) But it keeps him occupied and happy so that is great for us too! We love watching our little guy learn and enjoy new experiences.
We were so excited to get a little dusting of snow while we were visiting Bel Air! The snow was perfect for making a snowman!
Christmas was so special this year for us. Experiencing it through Holden’s eyes was so magical! He helps you to stop and appreciate all of the special aspects of the holidays that make Christmas so incredible.
