Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

It has been a little busy around here so I am going to try to catch you up quickly.  I took tons of pictures but I'll only post a few.  One of my numerous resolutions is to do a better job keeping my blog updated! 

Christmas 2012
Greta gave Blossom a roll of toilet paper for her first Christmas as part of our family:

I told Daniel to smile and this is what I got:

Daniel loves to open presents now.  He helped everyone open their gifts.

Daniel got the "car-helicopter" that he had been asking for.  The actual name is the Ice Hogs Air Assault Helicopter.  The toy isn't exactly age appropriate so he'll have to play with it under the supervision of his daddy.  The unexpected part of this toy was that Laura loved the helicopter just as much, if not more, than Daniel.  I wish that you could have seen her face when it was flying around. 

I was under strict orders not to photograph Rana so you don't see her in the photo of my Dad...

Again, I asked Daniel to smile in this photo with Nana:

My beautiful mom.

OK....I'm skipping ahead.  Scott's mom & Andy came to visit us for several days and brought their 2 chocolate labs, Eclair and Rogan, with them.  Blossom had a blast.  Here are some pictures of the canines having fun:

 Happy New Year!
