Tub mates...

Greer and Ian having fun!

Watch out UMD Bulldogs!

He may not be Brett Hull, Skeeter Moore or Guy Goselin, but watch out Hockeytown Easton is on the move! We had a great mom and son time on skates. He was showing off his Minnesota blood by being a quick study. Anyone have 12 1/2 hockey skates? We'll take em! Might even have to flood the back yard to have our own rink! Oh yeah, it IS flooded right now!

Only a face...

Yes, his mother even loves this face. Ian is so proud of himself and ability to stand and creep the furniture.

Santa and The Tooth Fairy avoided collision!

Easton hit a milestone! He lost his first tooth. We were nervous that Santa and The Tooth Fairy were going to come the same night, but WHEW, they did not. Not even I could be that creative all in one night. We had a successful appearance from the T-Fairy with dust, an adorable wooden tooth box and T-fairy money with autograph. She did not believe in inflation and stuck with a magical dollar. :)

Christmas Morn...

Greer b-lined right past all of her gifts from Santa and went right to the giant box from Buba and proclaimed, "I want to open dis box!". Dreams really do come true . Greer has been telling Buba that she has wanted baby in a stroller and car seat for about 6 months. Here it is! She was content with Christmas with just that. Makes for a big pile of unopened boxes for her birthday in 2 weeks! Ian mastered a sippy cup on Christmas! He loves it.

Ian adores his Go and Grow Giraffe from Buba and Papa Bill. The size of the box kept him amused for a while too!

Easton was tickled at 6 AM with his Animal Rescue Vet set....Imagine that..ANIMALS! I think we are seriously up to 300 animals now and still counting. Now he is going to be a vet and rescue ocean animals first he told me.

Greer treats even sidewalk chalk like it was a golden egg! God love her and her, "Oh my gosh!Look, Mom chalk!"

Mom, I think she looks like you when you used hot rollers.

Greer reading on Christmas Eve. She really enjoys creating her own dialog! Sure sign of an emergent reader! Ian and Papa discussing dinner.


Ian is teething terribly and apparently a rib bone is soothing to the gums. He was as happy as can be when we allowed this.

Greer was showing Ian how it is done. You know you can put her in dress clothes, but you can't make her be a princess.

Christams Eve time together at Nana Papa's.

Ian looks so much like his siblings!

Waaaahoooo! We love sledding at Vet's hill!

Baking cookies together.

Bad Hair Day!

Teething ya think?

Christmas Card Attempt #2

Okay, I have TRIED to get all 3 to look for a picture and I think this year our Christmas cards are doomed.

Don't look, Miss Manners!

I can always count on Greer to enjoy my cooking. She polished off this chicken leg in no time flat.
