Playing in the snow on the deck

Going, going, gone...

Is there something on my head?

Playing Peek-a-boo around the end table

Fixing the stairs...

...in my superhero eye mask and Mardi Gras beads and dinosaur PJs. What?

Avocados...

...make a seriously big mess.

Football time

Chillin' on the couch together

Big Brother, you tell the best stories.

How he rolls...

Helping Dad, of course.  What?  This doesn't look like help?

Standing

Grace much prefers to stand and play now than sit and play.  And it took no time for her to start cruising all over the furniture.  We're in trouble!

Happy New Year!

Absolutely precious hat Grandma made for Grace!

Opening our stockings

Gramps and Chris having some quality Lego time together

And some quality reading time together

Grandma and Grace having some quality drool-wiping time together (there's a lot of that around here)

A new book from Aunt Bonnie (hey, I think we can relate to that title)...

Who doesn't love a yummy Batgirl and Wonder Woman to chew on?

So wonderful to get to spend the start of 2013 with Grandma and Gramps!!

First family photo of 2013

Fun ice sculptures down at Evergreen Lake

Yes!  Books I can soak with my drool and not end up eating paper!

The Hess toys are a big hit year after year

Those are some seriously happy kids!

Down at the lake

All I want for Christmas...

is my two front (bottom) teeth.  And I got 'em!

Killing time at the airport

Chris is such a great big brother!  He wipes her drool...

...and accepts big sloppy baby kisses...

...and even goes in for more kisses...

...and makes silly faces to make her laugh...

...and lets her pull his hair...

...and even eat his hair.  Way to go, big brother!

What do you mean our flight will be delayed almost 9 hours?!

Christmas in Indiana 2012

Cousin Caity enjoying a good laugh with Grace.

Cousin Clark and Chris in a heated match of checkers (with a little help from Grampy).

A new hand gesture from Grace.  She does it all the time, but we have no idea what it means.

The obligatory baby in bows picture.

Hi, Babcia! I love you!

Our amazing gifts.  Merry Christmas!
