Willow turns One!

Summer's sunset

Summer asked me to take a photo of a pretty sunset over the weekend. How could I say no?

More Christmas Eve

Summer gets fudge for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Buster monitors things, because when people leave food out around the house, he's pretty much the clean-up crew.

Christmas Eve

Willow and Summer get dressed to go out to a friend's house in the evening.

Gingerbread House

Thanks to Aunt Liz, we had a wonderful gingerbread house to build. We were happy to have the Roark Family over to help us. Summer and Avery ate so much candy we didn't even have enough to make the pathway. We did an extra good job brushing teeth that night!

Summer's Fashion Show

Summer loves to dress-up. She loves her new backpack that her Cousin Annie passed down to her and she loves her sunglasses.

Willow watches the fashion show.

O Christmas Tree

We got another great Christmas tree at Pike Nursery this year. The salesperson offered to take our photo. When Willow woke up she was all smiles when she saw the tree as was Summer. When Ron said, "Where's the tree?" Willow whipped her head around and glanced at the tree behind her and said "Tee!"

Baby in a box

Willow can say "(ba)nana." She can do the sign "more" and "eat" as well as say, "eat." She can give daddy a kiss and climb on, up and inside of everything. She was very proud of herself when she learned to climb in this box.

Thankgiving

We missed having Thanksgiving with our families, but we are blessed with wonderful friends and neighbors. We enjoyed an eclectic feast of turkey with the works a few delicious Trinidadian and Indian dishes and lasagna. Great food, great company!
