We are woefully behind on our "post-a-day!" Here are some recent pictures. This first one is a pirate-ship feature that they added to our Fairgrounds. It's like a giant treehouse, and was designed by some folks used to be at Disney, I think.

Our big family Christmas party. It's been an annual event since my mom was little, and is usually attended by over 100 people.
The lights on Christmas Tree Lane.

Christmas Eve at Grandma's and Grandpa's.

Nathan took this picture of his "loot" before anyone else woke up on Christmas morning. :)

Putting together his giant Lego police station (at 5:30 a.m.!)

Norah got a kitchen, which she is quite enamored with.

Especially when she can get Daddy to play along! She has become quite good at making "yummy eating" sounds.
