I crack myself up...

If you're happy and you know it...

...clap your hands!

Christmas Eve

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house,
not a creature was stiring (except Charlie, like a mouse).

Earlier, Charlie slept nestled all snug in his bed,
while visions of sugar plums, danced in his head.

The stockings were hung with presents under the tree,
can't hardly believe, all of this is for me!

Then I heard Charlie explain as he shook his arms with great might,

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Sweetness...

Christmas in California

Charlie took his third plane ride to California to celebrate Christmas early with family.  An exciting start to his 10th month!  While we were in California he...

drove a tractor...

had two visits from Santa (once while he was snoozing)...

opened presents...

sang Jingle Bells...

and practiced his walking and talking skills. 

What a FUN trip!

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (almost)

We caught a little grinch trying to open his presents early...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

...in Hood River!

Charlie met Santa for the first time today (the first of many more introductions this season I'm sure).
