Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!!!!

During our trip to Orofino, so Bryan could go hunting with my dad and brother, the boys had a couple of unexpected surprises.
The first surprise was their first snow. Although, they didn't realize it was snowing last night. They noticed the white flakes falling from the sky this morning. While we were sitting in a chair by one of the big windows Kaden became mesmerized by the falling snow. He enjoyed it so much I took the boys into my parents room and propped them up on a pillow so they could watch out the bedroom window. It was like they were in a trance.
The second surprise was an early visit from Santa. Santa thought the boys would like their gifts a little early so they could enjoy them over Thanksgiving.
Santa conveniently dropped off two large boxes right about the time the big boys returned from their excursion (Santa is very clever). The boxes contained two walkers. Uncie had the pleasure of assembling the boys new set of wheels. They were so excited they had to take them for a spin. I think you could probably hear the squeals and laughs all through Orofino that night. The boys LOVED them. They aren't quite long enough to move around real well but they can reach with their tip-toes which is enough to get a little movement. It won't be long before they will be cruising around on the hard wood floors at Grammy and Papa's house. The walkers also have toys attached to them that make sounds and music and Braylon and Kaden loved to pound on the little key board. At one point my dad asked, "What song is it playing?" And the only response I could come up with was "Chaos". Thankfully the walkers will be staying up at Grammy and Papa's house because I have a feeling it could get pretty wild when the boys get more mobile.
Speaking of mobile. The boys are now beginning to crawl. We have had to bust out the Super Yard. Which is like a bunch of baby gates hooked together to make a pin, just to keep them safely in one area. Braylon is starting to get up on all fours and Kaden doing the army crawl.
They have also reached another milestone. They are starting to say their first word. Braylon now says "momma" very clearly and has figured out that I have a hard time resisting picking him up when he says "momma, momma, momma". Kaden is beginning to say "momma" too. He isn't as consistent and not always as clear but he is catching on. It just melts my heart.
Sorry there aren't any pictures. The batteries on both of my cameras died but I will be sure to get some of the boys first Thanksgivings. They will be spending Thursday up in St. Maries and Saturday we will celebrate again in Orofino.
