It's Cold Out There!

We have had a rough couple weeks! Mommy and Blakey got a nasty cough (better now), Blake and Danae had ear and sinus infections respectively and Daddy's knee hurt. Alot. Alright, not really so much. Daddy made it through unscathed.
Bebop had a couple days there where all he did was play with his train tracks and whine. He has added quite a few more words to his vocabulary:

Blue (sounds like boo, usually in conjunction with Choo-Choo)

Choo-Choo

Bus

Stars

Moon

Thank You (Mommy swears she heard this)

Daddy (sounds like da-ee, both Mommy and Daddy are Da-ee)

Danae (sounds like day)

Fishies (sounds like shishies, will not make an "f" sound!)

Danae set up the aquarium that Aunty Jenny got her for Christmas, and she and Aunty Jenny went to the pet store to get fish! 'Nae picked 4 small ones instead of 2 big ones. We're down to 3 now, but we really love those 3!

We went out to First Night in Port Huron on New Year's Eve. They had different things going on in the city buildings, like a ventriloquist, and a
African drum circle. We liked the drum circle alot. Even Blakey didn't mind. Then...

We rode a bus! "Buh! Buh!". He was so thrilled until we got on. Then we got off and he was thrilled until we got on again. It was like he recognized the outside of the bus, but inside was like a regular room.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas! We had a wonderful and slightly hectic Christmas! We saw Grandma and Grandma and Uncle Dan at their house, and Pappa and Grandma Linda on Christmas Eve at Aunty Jenny's house, we had a nerf war with the other kids there (Danae actually faught the war, Daddy just helped her reload), and did not have too much of a fit on the way home!





Blakey did not get the hang of opening presents until December 26th. He's got it now though.

Danae understands presents perfectly. It's almost an art form. She informed Daddy that next year she would like presents to the top of the Christmas tree.

Christmas day we spent at the GG's. We did not get a picture of the table for some reason, but we had filet mignon for dinner! Best Christmas dinner ever!
