Christmas morning

Norwegian waffles. Totally delicious.












Miles is starting to get very interested in food. He got especially excited by the pomegranate Grandma was eating.

A new toy

Santa Jessica brought this for Mac. He loved it at first, but then got frustrated when he couldn't get the WHOLE thing in his mouth.

Gifts to each other

Miles is really excited about all this.











We are now a three ipod family How cool are we?

Getting ready for Christmas

Ellen says this technique won't work next year.

Naked Baby!

This boy HATED to be naked this summer, when he was a little little baby. Now that it's 10 degrees outside, he can't get enough of it. He doesn't get much of a chance, except after bath time.

Good family values

Miles trying to eat his mama's cheek.
And trying not to be intimidated by his papa's mohawk.

A baby and his dog

Mac is basically holding on to Lyle's tongue in this picture. Lyle seems ok with it.

Bundled up

Miles doesn't much like wearing a hat, but he's getting more used to bundling up before we go outside.

Cassie's winter body

Every fall, our skinny summer cat turns into a fat winter cat. She hasn't been outside since the first snow fell.

Lyle's new favorite toy . . .

His water dish. He usually doesn't pick it up if there's water in it.

Miles and his cousins

Love, love, love this picture
