Jenna invited us over to frost some Christmas cookies. Ben had a lot of fun and decorated (and ate) a few of his own.

While people around the country were freezes their butts of in early December 2013, we filled up the kiddy pool and went swimming.

I got Ben a doctor’s kit and he proceeded to listen to my heart, take my pulse and reflexes, and then scribble down some notes in my chart.

Ben asked to go to the park so we went.

In one of the ponds in our neighborhood there’s a small alligator. On a walk, we saw the alligator and showed him to Ben.
