A goofy Christmas

Pap pap found these silly glasses that everyone was playing around with. Todd was no exception -- I'm holding back here you should know.

Check out this Charlie's Angels pose ( I mean Michael and his angels) boomerangs and all! I wonder if those glasses have special x-ray vision powers or something?

Presents!

Alura's in her Christmas dress that I made her which she looks very princess-like in (oops, sorry she's getting past princess stage now -- too grown up is what I meant to say...)

Julia and I being smarty pants open our duplicate gifts at the same time with much ooohing and aaahhhing...can we say "and the Oscar goes to..." We both like them of course, but it's funny when you know that after the first one or two are the same gifts that chances are that the third same sized box is well, the same present! Much fun was had by all. Thanks Pap Pap!

Christmas Cheer

Cousin Michael shares a hug with Arianna while Olivia looks on as we exchange gifts at Pap Pap Neumyer's House.

Fall Frolics II

Here the rest of the family joined in for the leaf pile fun. Toby loves it every year when we do this, burrowing under the leaves and enjoying having piles of leaves being dropped on him.

Fall Frolics

Better Late than never! We may be in the throes of Winter, but it's fun to look back at those pictures in November. Plus it's much more colorful to look at.

Such sisterly love and playfulness. (with a bit of teasing thrown in for good measure) This one Troy took though I was soon drawn outside and took over photography to see the fun.
