Merry Christmas!

It was a very good Christmas. Kaj didn't really get into the present opening. There was too much going on. He was more into Auntie' s eggroll than he was opening presents. A week before he would have liked to tear into all the gifts. This is a picture off of Auntie's new camera. A Christmas present to herself.
Sorry this is sideways but here is Karli with her pups.

Kaj in his new fleece leisure suit and his cell phone from Santa. He sits and talks and laughs on that phone all the time.

Kaj and Auntie the morning after. She had to dress him up in the outfit she gave him.

Grandpa posing for a picture. Kaj was taking the picture.

Kaj and Mommy ready for church.

Kaj all dressed up for church.

Kaj and Brandi reading stories and mellowing out after the busy holiday and after cleaning up the livingroom. Brandi got her pony that she has always wanted and we got a second pony for the rest of the family. I still don't think she really believes it.

I think the matching PJs were the biggest hit. They have little monkeys on them which is most appropriate for these two!

Getting Ready

Happy Be-lated Birthday Auntie Karen! This is a picture from Thanksgiving.
Here is a picture of the Gingerbread House after assembly and before decoration. We even have a light in the middle of it so the windows glow!

Brandi and Kaj took over the kitchen

Kaj had started doing the dishes in the afternoon and as you can see from the picture above he was still doing it in the evening but with a new outfit.

Favorite spot.

Kaj had his first sleepover with Auntie this last week. He decided the dogs needed to be washed so he is going after them with wet wipes.

Kaj was eating Captain Crunch with berries, sitting on the couch watching the Golden Girls when I walked in in the morning. What is she doing to him!?

Kaj herding the puppies.

Thanksgiving

So when you leave your camera laying around you end up with about twenty pictures of the above on it!

Kaj just loves to play the piano

We had Thanksgiving at the Devil Track Resort where the Aunts were staying. It was a really good time.

Kaj and Brandi had plenty of room to run around. The funny thing is that Brandi had us all in one of the closets doing shadow puppets.
