Xander and Clare

I believe this was the last Christmas gift to be assembled. It's Xander's,
but both kids love it. (Luckily X is good about sharing, at least most of the time.)


She just walks around and bops her head to the music (the guitar plays songs
by Blondie, Pat Benatar, and the Pretenders).


A couple days after Christmas, we were feeling a bit shut in, so walked up
to the park, even in the horrible cold.


As long as you're bundled up, it isn't too bad!


The Rosellis came by on their way through the area on Tuesday night. Alyssa
is getting so big!


Clare talked about Lexi and Alyssa all the next day.


I have no idea. Xander and Lexi had a ball playing with tape and tissues.


This is another of their creations.


The kids and I went over to the Rydholm's on Wednesday morning.
Xander loves Ramsey, and asked me to take a picture of them together.
(And no, we are not getting a dog.)

Some more friends came and spent the day with us on Thursday. Clare got into
her old cat costume and did not want to get out. She ended up napping in it.

Jessica and Henry came to hang out with us on New Year's Day. It was another
sunny day; a bit cold, but perfect for a walk.
