It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around our house lately. We decorated the tree and put lights up outside. Maddox is having a blast with all of our decorating traditions because this year he can participate!
Here's Maddox hanging his BABY ornament!
You can't see his face, but he's beaming from ear to ear.
It's still his favorite ornament to check on to make sure Cooper hasn't knocked it down.
Here's Maddox putting on the tiny glass ball ornaments and he's showing you how he's VERY careful.
Here's Maddox and I doing the tinsel.
I've learned well from my father about doing 1 strand at a time and now Maddox has taken on the same task. He was so meticulous about it.
I like the pictures without the flash because you can see how nice the tree looks. Sorry we're so blurry.
Cheese!
Maddox trying on our stockings.
Pizza party picnic in the living room!
Maddox has been enjoying all of the snow quite a bit. He goes out with Daddy every evening and shovels (he uses his little shovel from the summer). 
It sure wears a kid out!
Then he always needs a snack recharge - CHEESE!
Alright, I couldn't resist. Here's how I found my boys when I came to bed. Corey was too lazy to put Maddox to bed this night because he was so tired himself. I think Maddox ruled the king-sized bed this night since he has an entire king sized pillow to himself and his daddy is about to fall off the edge of the bed! Don't worry, I moved Maddox when I came to bed.
Well, I loved Angie's post about Rowan's picture taking skills, so I thought I'd show Maddox's skills too. He only likes to take pictures of himself and his mommy.Maddox and I have been doing a lot of holiday shopping together and it's been a blast. He likes buying things for other people and when he sees their presents lying around he will tell me who each one is for.
Alright, I better do a little bit of bragging here. Maddox, thanks to Auntie Jenna's game, recognizes all the letters of the alphabet and can put them in the correct word board on his new letter game. He absolutely loves this game. I'm actually getting sick of playing it, but not him. He talks like he's 5 and he's just a blast to hang out with most of the time. Sometimes I run away when Corey gets home and take a bath by myself for a little break, but most of the time he's great.
