January Fun!

After the busy holidays, we are still enjoying being at home even though various rooms are in different states of "readiness."  Here is some of what we've been up to...

Corduroy books!

Learning to smile

Playing with a pool ring on her head

Anything in colors makes great for football

Balloons = always entertaining

Making corn muffins

"Helping" take down Christmas lights...

...and Christmas reindeer

Trying out her car

Haircut #2!

Looks exactly the same!

#1 Flu Takedown = Movies all day!

Discovering the fun of choo-choos

Feeding her babies

5.5 Birthday walk!

Making the rotation around the sun

We had a little snow.  This is K trying to catch a snowflake in her mouth

We went to the Harlem Globetrotters!

K lasted about five minutes in non-fidgeting mode

PJ got baptized!  Everyone but James was battling the flu still so only he made the trip :(

Doggies!

Kerrington loves doggies!  Making a barking noise was one of the first sounds she made and despite us teaching her what all of the animals are, she continues to call bears, lions and goats all "doggies" too.  Charlie was never much into Marley.  Not the case w/ K.  She gives her huges, "rides" on her and recently discovered leashes.  Not sure Marley appreciates this interest :)

The look in Marley's eyes is priceless

Hugs!

Christmas Part 2 with the Lanes!

The day after Christmas, Nana, Papa, Aunt Allison, Izzy and PJ all came for a visit!  We had a nice meal and even celebrated Papa's birthday.  They brought tons of loot too so it was like Christmas all over again!

Christmas Day 1

Again this year, no one woke up early (which is a tradition we are happy to keep) on Christmas morning and so we all made our way downstairs in our jammies around 8:30.  The kids were excited to see what Santa left out for them and we had a great time unwrapping everything and then staying in our jammies and playing all day after Grandma and Grandpa left to celebrate down in NC.

Matching socks!

The stuffed fox!!! #1 gift of Christmas :)
