Snow and Turkey Day

A few days after thanksgiving we had our 1st snowfall in our new place. Salem only gets snow about 1/ 3 years and for it to be snow rather than ice for any extended time is unusual, so we were excitted to have it stick for a few days and to be able to share it with Jeffrey, the sled was a little cold for his tookass, but he liked when mom and dad had a little snow ball fight.

Our back yard, we ended up with about 3-4"

Thats Jeffrey in a gift from Aunti Susan, from Hobart College which is her alma matta back in NY. He is such a good walker now, but he still loves if you will hold his hand and come along, he gives an excellent tour of the house.

We had Gran Beck up for turkey day and despite our little man being sick the two of them had a great time, he had grown a lot since their last visit and was playing "hi" or what the rest of us would consider peek a boo. They also played with Daddy's stinky socks, a sort of puppet like activity that Jeffers loved, ahh so easy to please.
