O Christmas Tree

Jonah was admiring the tree the other day. Of course he couldn't just stand right next to it and look, he had to climb up on the trunks to look! (I tried to take it without the flash...)
As soon as he noticed me with the camera, the grin came out. He has figured out when someone gets the camera, you smile and say cheese. He can't quite say "cheese" so he says "eeee!" Then, of course, you run to mom to see the picture.
On another cute but random note, I was out checking the chickens this morning, and this is what Hyrum came wondering through the yard in.

The Dora backpack was his Donatello bag. Don't you know anything purple belongs to Donatello? He's very much to comedy relief here.

The other day he and Sterling came in to ask me a few questions about a map they were looking at. It was a big world map and they found Washington. For some reason, the makers of this map found that Walla Walla was an important city in Washington to highlight, who knows why, and Sterling was telling me how there is a state called Walla Walla. I explained that it is a city and it is even in Washington! Hyrum, in his cutest Hyrum I-can't-quite-pronounce-w-and-r voice, asked, "Mom, when can we go to Wawa Wawa?"

I just about died.
