New Year's Eve

Which, in our house, always means:



This year we tried out "family time" for his actual birthday. (The next day, we had a New Year's Day dinner and our friends sang to him then.) So we did things he wanted to do and ate food he planned.

For his cake he wanted cupcakes.



G-girl being goofy while D-meister opens his presents. Make no mistake: he fully knows what she is doing.


Big Brother wanting to "help" with the Transformers.


Our youngest is five now!
I still remember our first December in this state, when we welcomed him into our family.

Boo Boo and the Beach

We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day shortly after Christmas and took the new puppy down to our beach. We had a hard time getting him to leave!

Christmas Day 2009

On Christmas morning, I had a camera under the tree so I was able to take pictures this year.



That's a LOT of marbles!




G-girl is quite the outdoor enthusiast. Can't have too many flashlights!

Wedgits!


Is this a big giant dollhouse?

It is!






D-meister is a self-assured little dude.

N-man loves the Boo Boo
