warm winters

i really feel for those folks who actually have winter. this time of year for us should be called sheer perfection. i bet "those folks" feel the same way about us come august. anyhow, we like to take advantage of perfect backyard weather!

happy new year!!

the christensens started out 2012 right with a morning hike on the greenbelt.

sunny is a great leader!

daddy helped the kids draw pictures of our surroundings.

wills became quite attached to his walking stick.

the timer shot. don't you love what sunny does when you ask her to "pose" for a picture?

the merriest part of christmas...

...is being with family.

snuggles with mammaw are the best!

story time with nana rules!

making funny faces with aunt rachel is pretty classic, this is the "tough" face. love it!

lovin' aunt leela.

the bros, dada and uncle bebo.

jingle bells!

the weekend after hanukkah, it was time for an humble christmas!

to start, here are sunny, wills and cousin camron with the biggest hit of the season, icicles.

more hanukkah action!

the big hanukkah/christmas gift this year was a playscape for the backyard! it was lovingly assembled by daddy, gan gan and uncle johnny. their hard work paid off, it is a hit!




the kids weren't excited at all about their hanukkah presents.


don't all jews have the "battle plank" section of the hanukkah celebration? well, all the cool ones do!
