Last week Alexa had her first experience in the snow. We only went out for a few minutes but she got to walk in the snow and touch it. She liked it but thought it was cold! I pulled her around on her sled for a couple minutes but I need to put a longer rope on it. I had to lean over to pull her around. She has had a little cold so we did not stay out long.

Alexa has started to play with pots and pans more and will pretend to stir things in a bowl so tonight when I made some biscuits I had her help stir them together. I think she will be a great little cook!

We had a great Thanksgiving. Alexa was a great traveler. I couldn't have asked her to be any better. We got to Grandma and Grandpa's house in time to help put dinner on the table. Alexa actually put a piece of turkey in her mouth. When she realized her error it came right back out but I was encouraged that it actually made it in for a second.

The day after Thanksgiving was our annual Christmas Cookie Baking Day. It was a lot of fun. Alexa helped a little. Next year she will be a pro like her cousins! She has enjoyed eating them. Her favorite so far are the Peanut Blossoms - she likes to eat the chocolate kiss off the top.

Sunday we stopped at a store and met Jane and Shelby and let Alexa look over the toy selection. We needed to get some ideas for toys to ask Santa for. Check out the video and see what you think.
