Merry Christmas

We celebrated Christmas this year in our new house.  We had such a busy lead up to the holiday that we haven't done all we wanted to do for us or our loved ones all over the US.  Here are a few photos that weren't blurry.  Thanks to everyone who helped make Christmas special.  Everyone had fun opening their gifts and playing with them or eating them.  : )  Thank yous will be in the mail soon. 

 Will opened a fun gift from Great Aunt Renee and Great Uncle Harold.

They gave him a cool construction spoon, a puppet book and an apron.

 Here Louis is with some great Legos from Papa and Grandma Carol.

 Aunt Sue and Uncle Tim sent Will this fun Santa bib...

My Auntie Knows Santa.

 Doug's parents sent us this pretty evergreen centerpiece.  It smelled great!

Coffee!!

 Louis was so excited when he opened the tractors from Darrel and Susan, he had

to stop and play with them right away.

 Cool books from Susan and Darrel

 This is a very smiley Will with new clothes from Grandma and Papa.

spoon...what's a spoon?

Despite the smile caught on camera, there weren't a lot of smiles to be had.  We tried some cereal.  We tried it a few ways but so far it is not a hit.  Someday we'll figure it out.  I doubt he will be taking a milk bottle at 16.

Caution

Louis's bright orange room before chaos hit. 

 Louis is practicing his law enforcement skills.

Cute as a Bug

I found this costume when I was unpacking.  It may be December, but he is still cute as a bug.  Better late than never?

Looking at the camera is challenging...

Thank You Auntie Michelle

Will got this fun chair from Aunt Michelle and Cousin Jakob.  He likes to sit in it and chew on his toys.  Everything is something to gnaw on now.  Oops Just realized that I already posted this one.  I don't know how to delete so it will have to stay up here.
