Christmas highlights

Highlights of the day: Leo sleeping until 6:30 am, his joy at getting an am/fm radio kit, taking hot oatmeal to the horse, new walkie-talkies that reach all the way to the pond, cousins and the 2011 Hess truck for all of them, building Lego and Erector set at the dessert table, floating the Lego boat in the tub, a great time playing “Catchphrase.”

Lemons and Peppermint Sticks: The Next Generation

Whereas his older brother Finn just ate the peppermint stick, Donncha gets the hang of this on his first try. Well, almost. The movie shows a little confusion about what you are supposed to do, but he does eventually get the hang of it.

Nigel’s birthday

Just a few quick ones here — it was an early Christmas with Mary and an early birthday for Nigel.

Leo and Finn helping Mary with her presents. Get ready to say goodbye to the tablecloth.

Listening to Connor tell a story, I’m sure.

The consequences of too many presents opened on the table!

Another delicious cake by Sophie

We had a wonderful time — 19 guests this year, but one was cuter than all the other. Guess which one?

Halloween Snow Storm, 2011

Our big silver maple out front took a big hit. I’ve always loved that tree.

Above, last November. Below, today

Last week

And this morning

Much to the distress of our neighbors, most of our Halloween did survive.

Sophie has already written a lot about the love our dog and cat have for each other. Home for the day with a sick boy, I got to observe it first hand.
