Skating!

We got enough ice to support our boy!  Not safe for big people yet.

 

Sledding

Took Danny to the local sledding hill, shared the hill with his classmate and their cousins from Texas.

Nice fast snow.

Snow

 Some pleasing post-Christmas now here in CT.

And some shots of our hockey rink, not quite ready for business.

But we will be offering nighttime hours.

 

 

Christmas

A Christmas Eve hike with my son. He was just getting over his illness, I suspect taking the opportunity to pass it on, in the giving spirit.

Hurricane Sandy did this.

 Christmas morning!

 The girls with their new makeup set.  "Daddy, we have to makeup you!"

Nehalen Streeters

To the Brooklyn Botanical gardens to meet some West Coasties.  Ida likes this phone, a lot.

These girls really liked the trains.

And this gingerbread house.

 This guy was giving people sideways looks.

A hungry caterpillar!

 

 These two got along.

Christmas Tree

We cut our tree from the local farm, survived an inadvertent trip on the highway, and trimmed it out.  Our son does not like to wear clothes.

 You need someone to check out the low branches!

 Some failed family photos.

 Gingerbread house.

 Bathtime lions.

After bath is a natural time for living room football.  In one's underwear, of course.

November Morning Activities

 Hana likes to instigate a morning huddle in bed.

Everyone trying to get into the brownie batter.

 Reading.
