December 15: We went to the family Christmas party. They have the kids dress up for a nativity scene while the Christmas story is read. Talon did not want to dress up as the shepherd but he eventually decided he could wear the headband to be like Kung Fu Panda.
December 16: We watched The Polar Express.
December 17: Talon wore the Christmas shirt he made. He's pretty proud of it .
December 18: We attempted to make jigglers. I don't thing I had the right amount of water because they didn't work at all. It didn't stop us from eating them though!
December 19: We made marshmallow snowmen!!! I learned that if you overheat chocolate it becomes a huge clump but if you put it in a cold bowl and mix in some cold pieces of chocolate and keep stirring, it becomes melted again. Pretty cool! Talon had fun putting the little snowmen together. My favorite is the one that has 4 or 5 arms with some coming out of its head. Don't you just love that chocolatey smile?
December 20: We wrote a letter to Santa and Talon drew a picture. He came up with what he wanted all on his own. :)
December 21: We had reindeer pancakes! Of course it needed "brows". :)
December 22: Flaming snowballs! What could be better than ice cream and fire! You just put a sugar cube soaked in lemon extract on top and light it up.
December 23: Ginger bread houses. The best part was how excited talon was when we built a house out of graham crackers. "Wow, that's cool!"
December 24: Rice Krispie treats. Marshmallows + ANYTHING = happy boy :)
It was so much fun to have something for this boy to look forward to every day. We would get home and Talon would always ask about his sock tree so we could see what it says. I can't wait until next year when he has a little brother to join in the excitement.

I have one of the most creative and loving wives there is! She is such a great mother to Talon and wife to me. Always looking for something fun to do and make traditions with so our kids will always remember how important family is. Talon the unborn boy and myself are truly blessed.
