January

We usually go to McDonalds for lunch on either Saturday or Sunday. Tipton always asks to play a game on Daddy's phone while he waits for his lunch to magically appear on the table before him. One day Daddy decided to take pictures of the kids instead of letting Tipton play with his phone. So they started posing. This is my favorite pose.

One of Grandma Suzie's last days here we decided to walk around downtown. Unfortunately, it was -5 C (19 F). Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! But Grandma Suzie and the kids were good sports. The kids especially thought it was cool that all of the fountains had frozen.

One of the stores we went into had a bunch of Knights dress up stuff. Including body 'armor.'

Lilli was watching me do yoga on the Wii and decided that she wanted to give it a try.

Christmas is never just one day for us. Especially being so far away from our family, it tends to stretch out for several weeks as the packages trickle in.

Cousin Donna sent Tipton an Agent's legos set. She chose it because it had "Sharks with frickin' lasers on their heads!" Tipton thought that was pretty cool, too.

Cousin Donna gave Lilli a very pretty tea set. We have been having many, many tea parties. Lilli is a most gracious hostess.

We have these giant red and white striped knit stockings. When the kids were small enough we'd put them inside the stockings. Now they are too big. But Lilli has found another use for them. They make very fashionable hats.

And this last one is just a sweet picture.
