Let's hope this ice doesn't impede our travels west!

Henry's feeding his baby. He's been "the Mommy" lately, which was really cute until he started saying "I'm desausted!" and "I'm exserious!" in a not very nice tone...awesome.

Cute as a baby's bottom...

Sittin' Pretty

I think his eyes are going to stay blue, but I used the 'warmify' on this picture, so you can't tell as much. Pretty soon you'll all see it for yourselves!

First Snowfall of the Year

Why's it so dark, you may be asking yourselves. Well, because that's what it looks like before 5am.

Santa Explaining the Mysteries...

Henry just walked right up to the crowd and sat on the step beside Santa...here, Santa is explaining the magical dust that he sprinkles on the reindeer. So magical, in fact, that you can't see it. Henry thought this was so fun and special and kept it cupped in his hand for quite some time. He's been letting me know lately all the things that he's going to have Santa buy him...I've been saying back 'Santa doesn't buy all the things you ask for.' Ay Ay Ay!

Cookies with Santa

Santa is demonstrating the magical dust he sprinkles on the reindeer to make them fly. Henry walked around with his palm open for about a half hour...he was devastated when he fell and thought he dropped it all, but I assured him it was still there. His hand was still light as a feather, afterall.

He's just too excited for words.

Henry and Charlie

Sweet outfit, eh?

Should I Be Concerned?

Okay, so it was annoying to our guests on Thanksgiving when Henry tried to jump in their laps and lick them, panting like a dog. But it's almost unconsciously now that he's picking up doggie mannerisms. I looked over as he was watching Super Why and this is what he was doing...

He loves his exersaucer!

I was so glad to find a hook-on high chair that also has a tray. Today was my first day using it, and it was a success! He's such a big boy!

Uh Oh! Here we go!

I went upstairs to find the bag for my knitting, while Charlie was playing on his blanket. When I came back down...."Where's Charlie?!" (look up in the upper half of the picture)

Here I Am! Notice the pices of wheat thin on the floor under the table from our playdate...awesome...

Mirror, Mirror on the wall...

I could hear henry talking to himself while I was making dinner...he's such a character. He's saying that he's a pirate, and then he's opening and closing the drain saying "Into the Cage!"

Henry loves Tea Parties...which really he just loves having the tiny cup of water...entertains him for a long time, and that's all I care about :)

Tea for Two

Our new table is much better suited to our space and to our climbing toddler...no more booster seat for him!

We went to IKEA so I could get their super special on a dining table...table and four chairs for $59! I let henry pick out a new bed set, with a comforter to insert in the cover, in the vain hope that it will make him sleep in his own bed all. night. long.

I put the PB Kids velour sheet on Charlie's bed for some more warmth...with these love nests built for one, who wouldn't love to sleep in them? I know, My kids!

Henry said..."My Bed Looks Like a Lobster, now!"

I've created a monster. He kept doing headstands and finally said "Take a Picture! I'm bein' CRAZY!"

Where's the Baby?

"There I Am!" Too bad he doesn't take naps like the baby, eh?

Yes, We Can! (and did)

Even the little ones know how great this country can be with the right leadership. I broke the news to H first thing this morning. (We need to work on the pronunciation, but...)

Oh, Happy Daaaaaaaaaay...

I need to head to bed now!
