Christmas Day

Ben borrowed a sleeper from Avery Christmas Eve. Doesn't he look cute in purple? It matches the black eye he got when he crawled at full speed into a foot stool. I think the pink flowers are a bit much for a boy, but he was too young to care. I'm sure we would hear about it in a few years.

Grandma and Avery. Avery is getting so big! She will soon be walking all on her own.
Avery is so proud of her ability to walk with this walker. She was fun to watch.

Trying to get the toy out of the packaging is always a big ordeal. It took all three of us.

We had a quiet Christmas Day. Ben opened his presents from us and Grandpa and Grandma Langdon on Christmas morning. Aunt Tara, Uncle Kevin and cousin Avery came and spent the day with us. We had a Christmas feast and played some games. It was a nice relaxing day.

Ice Storm

We had a ice storm again this weekend. This time I actually took some pictures. Most of these are taken from our yard. The tree over the power lines is about 1/2 a mile down the road. Sure wish we had snow instead, but it was pretty.

Pappy comes to visit

Josh's dad came from Las Vegas for a visit. We finally got a picture of the three of them.

Emma

Ben got to spend a little time with Uncle Joel, and cousing Emma as well. Emma was camera shy so we had a difficult time getting a picture. She is sure a cutie.

Thanksgiving

Also at the mall, Ben took his first ride in a quarter machine. He thought it was pretty cool.

Thanksgiving

Ben enjoyed playing on this slide, he would climb up it and walk down. No actual sliding involved.

We went to the mall to meet up with Uncle Jon, Courtney and cousin Della. Ben had a lot of fun in the play area.

Ben wouldn't look at the camera, he was too interested in all the other kids running around.

Thanksgiving week

Sorry I'm a little behind on posting. We made a trip to Washington State Thanksgiving week. We had a lot of fun and it went too fast.

Ben made some new friends. He had a lot of fun playing with Elijah and Katia Mohler, my friends Becky and Josh's kids.
