"Daddy, hold me!"

Hmmmm, this works.  The daddy of all arm chairs!  I love it!

Chop-Chop: T's new do

I love the short look and easy combing.

(Tressa loves that "the tangle-fairy can't do as many tangles" as when her hair was long!)

Busted!

Really, why do I bother with bread?  I should just give him a spoonful of peanut butter and a spoonful of jelly!

Six Pilgrims' Christmas Picture '09

We had a houseful of Santa Babies!

Late night photo after Santa left some gifts!

Gathering for Christmas Day dinner.  I love my little santa doll!

Meghan:  "Enough with the hugs.  It's time for poppers!"

The popper tradition in action.

 

Little prince Noah.
 

Granddad and little man Hayden sharing a laugh.

 

Who could resist that face?

And last but not least, my little drummer girl...

Christmas Piano Recital

Meghan played Jingle Bells in duet form with her teacher.  Craig and I were a little apprehensive because the day before the recital Meghan was still making mistakes.  But her playing was surprisingly flawless at the actual recital!   Way to go, Megs!

First Snow of the Season!

And the snow was large and in charge!

Behold the Christmas Cuteness

Hayden is doing his midget impression.  yuk, yuk.

Okay that's better.

Hershey Park - Thanksgiving Weekend

Brrrrrr!

Yes, I did indeed photoshop Evan onto the frog-hopper (top right picture).

A house made entirely of Hershey's candy products... YUM.

The handsome old guy is Craig's dad.  The beautiful teenager is cousin Brittany.

Strawberry Enthusiast

When it comes to strawberries, Hayden just has no self-restraint.  No boundaries.  Last month he grabbed this brand new package of strawbs off the counter and started eating them.  Unwashed.  (GASP!)  But it gets worse... this morning at the grocery store he turned around in the cart, seized the package of strawbs, opened them, and before I could stop him, HE SCARFED ONE-- STEM AND ALL!  Seriously inappropriate, not to mention unsightly.

Tressa and Hayden

The other day I found Hayden in the playroom hiding behind the rocker and under a table.  Look at that grin... he was happy to see me!
