Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We sure do spend lots of time bundling up and de-bundling!

Van's extra layers are snuggly, cute, and reminiscent of bundled up Randy from A Christmas Story

Other than playing in a large tub of water, recently he has enjoyed entertaining himself with a turkey baster and "whispering" {squealing} to me through empty cardboard wrapping paper rolls! 

I have a picture of him carrying around the turkey baster but the poor camera-phone quality resembles more of a scary ice pick than a harmless kitchen utensil:
