Christmas Eve

We did quite a bit of traveling on Christmas Eve. We went to Nana and Granddad Lyon's house for lunch. We opened some Christmas gifts which made Kenny, Richie, and Becca very happy.

Becca and I were growling and roaring like a lion at each other. Why? Why not?


Who is goofier Becca or her mom? I wonder where she gets it from?


Kenny playing with Richie and one of his favorite new toys - The Thomas Tank Train Set. They both really like Thomas.




We then brought Kenny home for a quick nap and it was off to Granpa's and Pat's for dinner (and cheesy potatoes!) and more gifts.

The best picture we could get of the trio.


"You got it? Great I'm outta here. I have trains I need to play with."

Pre-Christmas Party

We had our Christmas get together at my parent's house with Auntie Joyce. It was nice to see her. Unfortunately, Ed was not able to make it. Here is what you missed Ed.

Daddy's Little Boy

Does Kenny pick-up habits from his Dad? You be the judge.

No New Shed For Geoff

We had a large dead tree that overhung our shed. I checked to make sure that our insurance would cover the replacement cost if for some strange reason the tree fell and totally obliterated our shed. We had a huge windstorm this past weekend. Unfortunately the wind blew the tree in the opposite direction. I was so disappointed.

Does Kenny Like Christmas Lights?

This video is of Kenny waking up the second morning we had the tree decorated. I really wish I got video of the first morning that he woke up after we had the tree decorated. He ran out of his room and stood in front of the tree with his hands on his hips saying, "Hmmmmmm." Then he put his hand on his chin like "The Thinker" and did the same thing. He was trying to figure out why the tree wasn't lit that morning. Late in the day Heather turned it on using the floor button, which Heather did not think he saw her doing. I guess she was wrong.

The Blurr

It seems that our picture taking is going to be slowing down for a bit. Kenny refuses to stay still and we would need a camera that could do something like this to keep him in focus.



We got and decorated our Christmas tree this weekend. Kenny thinks the tree is a new toy. Heather was commenting that she hardly needed to clean-up Kenny's toys yesterday when he went down for a nap because he was playing with the tree and ornaments.

Kenny is very cute, he was following all the bulbs on the tree telling us what color they were, "Pink, red, yellow, blue, green...Pink, red, yellow, blue, green.... Pink.." Did I say cute, it's a little annoying after the 87th time. He also tries counting all the bulbs on the tree; fortunately he usually stops that at 13.

Here is funniest thing Kenny did with the Christmas tree. Heather has an ornament that is a glowing fireplace. Kenny sees it for the first time and walks over to it. He puts his face near it and says, "hot". He then tried to blow it out like a birthday candle for a few minutes. Heather found it to be very entertaining.
