Evi Under the Tree

Evi is a big fan of "Holly" the Christmas soldier.

The Nice List

Maura got her first message from Santa via the Portable North Pole this year. Here's a link to the video and then two videos of Maura watching. She was very surprised when Santa knew her name and I think a little nervous waiting to find out if she made the nice list. My frenetic turning back and forth is because Evi is off camera trying to eat a magazine.

Maura's message from Santa

Hanger Time!

It's the simple things, like discovering the joys of hangers.

Up and Up

Evi is wasting no time with this moving thing. Here she attempts to defy gravity.

Up and... Crawling

Evi is on the move! And Maura is getting her stuff out of the way.

Trot Ol' Joe

Auntie Bebs caught Maura singing along to her favorite song, "Trot Ol' Joe" in the car today.  Whoa Joe!

Out for a Walk

Several weeks ago Maura took a liking to a certain small branch in the yard and named it "Puppy Stick".  Puppy Stick is now a full member of the family you gets regular walks and lots of love.

Auntie Bebs was visiting this weekend and took Maura and Puppy Stick for a walk around the block.  They also brought Maura's car and an umbrella.  Bebs caught several videos of their adventure.

Walking/Driving feet.

Maura and Puppy Stick reprimand the neighborhood dogs.

Puppy Stick gives up, but Maura keeps on the dogs.
