The 27th - Family Get-Together, Part A

Here I am with my baby brother, Grandpa and Debbie. They came down to see us while we were still on the east coast. I'm so glad they did, I had so much fun with them! And baby Grant just loved Debbie. He also loves his grandma. Peek-a-boo, little baby brother! The next day, Grandpa took us to ride the Carousel in front of the Smithsonian Institution downtown on the Mall. Even Grant had fun, all cozy in mommy's front carrier!

The 27th - Family Get-Together, Part B

Hommie's doing a great job trying to keep Grant happy...that's not easy sometimes. Helping Dabi vacuum before the guests arrive for dinner. Brooke and I watched "Coorius Dorge" while the adults all made gingerbread houses. Dabi didn't notice that we stole his chair this time, because he was too busy smashing his house to smithereens.

Pigtails!

My hair is finally long enough for pigtails! Mommy says they make me look older - ok, then may I borrow the car keys and a credit card?

Day After Christmas Shenanigans

Don't ever steal Dabi's chair or you'll get in trouble!! Well, we do outnumber him...maybe he'll let it slide just this once. Playing Bond with Uncle Mark and Daddy. Uhoh - here comes a sentinel! I think I'm winning. Brooke wants to have triplets. She's getting prepared.

Christmas Evening Festivities

The annual reading of "T'was the Night Before Christmas" It was pretty tough getting everyone to sit for the whole story, let a lone a photo. This was our best shot. I would smile, but the Alaskan King Crab is too yummy, so I think I'll just keep stuffing my face.

Silly Baby Portraits

Baby brother and cousin Anderson played together after the presents were all opened. Too cute. Cousin Brooke and I thought we should get in on the action - to make the picture just that much cuter.

Christmas Morning is Here AT LAST!

And here I am, ready to open presents in my elf outfit. Grant looks like an elf too...he matches daddy! Everyone is ready to start opening presents!!! Actually, they look a little bored...

Conspiring...

I wonder what Baby Grant and Cousin Anderson are conspiring about???

Christmas Eve @ Hommie & Dabi's House

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus... The chaos that is "Christmas at Hommie & Dabi's" Waitaminute...where is Uncle Mark's stocking, and who the heck is "KMART SHOPPER"???? BALLOOON! Daddy and Uncle Mark spending time with their boys.

Aunt Kristen's Birthday Party

Tonight was Aunt Kristen's Birthday party!! We had spaghetti and chocolate ice cream cake. Happy Birthday, Aunt Kristen! I had lots of spaghetti sauce all over... But then I covered up the spaghetti sauce with chocolate! Yummieeee!

Portraits

Grant and Dudley, my build-a-triceratops, in their overalls. Grant loves his Dabi!!

Messing Around

Brookies and I made reindeer noses and antlers with Hommie. I really liked my red nose! I'm Rudolph! Build-A-Keira Where you gonna take me, daddy? Brooke had to clean up the Nestle powder she spilled on the floor after dinner; Hommie's punishment.
