My Holiday Treat

Christmas 2009

Where do I begin?




The haul...


Daddy kept busy unwrapping things...


Oh why did we think that hammer and pegs was a good idea?


The big gift, the Batcave!








And my incredible one-eyed cyclopian Santa Claus Pez dispenser!

The Light That Morning

Happy Birthday Melissa!

It was M's birthday last Friday. This was my crap-tastic effort at cake decorating. You woulda thought that some decorating skills would have rubbed off on me through osmosis having worked at two bakeries in my life.

Putting his feet up

Byron the Heavy Diesel Mechanic

Plus, he works on jeeps.

When Little Brothers Attack

44 months!

18 months!

A whole year and a half!

The Cleanup

The new beast in the driveway.




And then two zombie snowmen followed us and are waiting on the back deck!

The Cat Brusher

First Snowfall

Snowing tonight and it is supposed to continue through the night. I may have to break out the snowblower tomorrow.

Byron's First Haircut

Before...


and after...












Unlike Walter's first haircut (and pretty much all subsequent ones...), Byron was incredibly tranquil and composed for his first haircut today. And now we have a proper little boy before us.
