MA Christmas 2

MA Christmas 1

Evan is preparing for Santa. It is clear he wants presents.

I don't think we're going anywhere.....

Two feet and it is still snowing...... bye bye mini-van!

Dan decided against grilling the salmon tonight!

Snow

Well, I know that our definition of a snowstorm down here is pretty loose. But this time we really did get snow. We have about a foot at 10:30 and it is still snowing pretty hard. So it will be interesting to see how much we get (and how much of school we have next week). Gavin liked the snow, but couldn't move since it was up to his waist. Chloe LOVED it and went for a long hike with daddy.

Don't know if you can tell here, but it is pretty much to Gavin's waist here.

Around the house

Nick can stand on his tippy-toes! We don't leave him unattended for more than the time it takes to click the picture.

Evan was so excited to help paint. I put the actual pain on during his nap and when he came downstairs he exclaimed, "It turned red and is so shiny!"

Evan crawls in Nick's crib nearly every morning and after naps. I like it because neither can get out and they keep each other company for at least 5 minutes!

New Dining Room

David ROCKS! The new dining room is gorgeous. We still have to paint and touch up, but it feels so much more like home.

Okay, more funny faces. Must be the week for it.

Tree and Funny Faces

Hooray for our first real Christmas Tree in 7 years!

Nick managed to make a really funny face in nearly every shot!

I know it look slike he has teeth. They are not through the surface yet, but you can see the outline of them under the skin.

Max "Reading"

Fauxhawk!

David took Ev to get his hair cut last night and this is how he came home! Thankfully, it is all just gel and not the cut. Ev was not a big fan of it.

Thanksgiving shots

If you enlarge this photo to full size, you can see all six grandkids. Very few look happy about this endeavor.

Chloe dressed up in Aunt Sarah's old ballet clothes.
Trying to take a picture with all four kids. Evan wasn't in the mood.....

Chloe and Evan snuggled under Chloe's precious "green blankie" and watching Cars.

Working on the light bright

Finished!
Not from Thanksgiving, but a pretty cute picture I think!
