12.09.11 - Spaghetti dinner

You'll never guess who was camped at the base of Tommy's high chair as he enjoyed his first spaghetti dinner tonight. :)

12.08.11 - Zap!

Tommy likes to explore the Christmas tree. Don't worry, grandparents, we pulled the light away from him right after this photo was snapped.

12.07.11 - It's snowing!

In our basement! Decorations that Angie bought several years ago to host Bunco night make an annual appearance each winter.

12.06.11 - Taco Tuesday togetherness

We invited our neighbors down for Taco Tuesday today. Afterward, the kids all played in the basement while the grownups sat around the fireplace. Next week, we're having Taco Tuesday at their house. This photo reminds me of a few months ago when Ainsley tried to hold Tommy. He's still an armful, even for us!

12.05.11 - I don't want my vegetables, Mom!

Tommy liked blueberry pancakes the other day but won't have anything to do with smashed peas.

12.04.11 - First Christmas

Tommy is determined not to let a little tissue paper stand in the way of him and his very first Christmas present - a set of bath toys from Uncle Brian, Aunt Emily, Cayden and Carter! We have an annual holiday get-together with our good friends from Manhattan in early December. We hosted this year after going to Manhattan the past two years.

12.03.11 - Books galore

I'm not terribly proud of this image and I'm sure Tommy won't like it later in life, either. But, we made another haul at the library today and as soon as we got home everyone sat down to start reading.
