Picking Out a Christmas Tree

We picked out a Christmas tree this morning. Phineas had fun playing "peek-a-boo" among the trees!

Phineas' Take on Santa Clause and the Reindeer

This is the first year Phineas is really able to comprehend Christmas. He's learning all about the holiday very quickly. Here he is explaining how he thinks Santa Clause works.

New fun with the old Bumbo

We went down to the basement recently and Phineas found his Bumbo seat box. He got excited and wanted us to bring it up for him. So we did, and here are some pictures of Phin playing in it.

Thanksgiving Pie

Mom made a delicious apple pie for Thanksgiving dessert. Here are some pictures of Phin enjoying it, though he like the ice cream just as much or more!

Phin likes maps!

Aunt Julie gave Phineas some map placemats and as it turns out he's a fan. He calls the US map his "states" and the European map his "countries."

Playing with Play-Doh

Here are some pictures of Phineas playing with Play-Doh. He discovered Play-Doh recently and had a lot of fun playing with it, but when he realized he could combine his truck toys with it things just got crazy!

Lunchtime Fun

Reading before bed

Here are some pictures of our nightly bedtime book routine. Phineas picks a book and usually a toy or stuffed animal to read with us, then we sit down and May comes over. Tonight he chose Rosa and Ollie and we read Goodnight Moon.

First Snow

The first snow of the year came last weekend and we all went out and played in it. Phineas got geared up in his snow pants and jacket and then helped clear off the driveway with his loader and dump truck.

Carving Pumpkins

Even though Halloween was almost a week ago, we thought we'd share some pictures of Phineas carving pumpkins. The final result is below - we carved a backhoe pumpkin!
