Toadfrogs and Elephants

Alex woke up from his nap and immediately spied the chips on the table. I told him they were for our New Year’s Eve party tonight. He promptly sat down at the table to wait (at 3 pm).

Abram was nice enough to loan Alex Toy Story 2 (Jesse is his favorite) tonight.
He spent all dinner telling Wade the pieces of the story he remembered.

Impromptu chip and dip party in the middle of the bathroom floor.

It’s good to be home and back in our routine.

I turned around today to see Alex attempting to get the last crumbs out of the bag.
I’m not sure where he learned this trick, but I’ve seen it a lot lately (see here).

This construction set was by far Santa’s best gift.
(Even the adults found ourselves mesmerized.)

Hungry Hungry Hippos was a huge hit!

Anytime Alex left Gram’s house he requested this hat. He’s in his pajamas and ready for the late night drive to Granny and Pop’s house.

Don’t leave me Uncle Chris!

Dabney brought Alex a new book – about the Moon!
