Seasonal Fun

Making sugar cookies and decorating them is a must for Christmas. Luckily, I had my mom and Misha for helpers this year. Misha did a good job getting frosting and sprinkles on the cookies, as well as other places :) - but the hardest part was keeping him from eating them all!

Playing in the snow is another thing you can't miss out on. Sadly, it has been extremely cold outside for most of the month, meaning the only time we spent outside was running to the car. A few days were more mild, so Misha got to walk on top of the snow and climb the snow pile with his aunt Tanya.

Tanya and I also took Misha to try ice skating for the first time. He was enthralled. As soon as we got the tiny skates laced onto his feet, he asked, "Can I take these home?" Alas, they were only rentals. He was eager to hit the ice, and he really enjoyed it when we pushed him around the rink or held his hands on either side as we made a lap. He could stand up by himself and wiggle his feet back and forth, covering a small bit of ground before toppling over. He really enjoyed it, though, and didn't admit he was cold until Tanya and I were long since frozen! He wants to go again.
