Just playing with mom

Checking out the Christmas card wall!

First Ever...

Candy Cane Face!

Merry Christmas!

Maol loves his new kitchen...makes many new dishes for us and likes to pretend that the fake food is really good!


Starting on his first stocking...Maol has two stockings that we fill, one is his hawaiian stocking, the other is his stocking fit for a Mallard! dad helped him take stuff out.

showing mom his pickles...


All the excitement just wore him out! Good thing his Penny made him a special trains blanket...to run his trains on of course!

Decorating the Christmas tree with dad. Even though we found that our box of special ornaments was missing (lost in the move)...we still had enough ornaments to decorate the tree! It's really made us glad to all be together this year at Christmas!Making Christmas cookies with mom. This was a large project for such a small kitchen, but we made enough cookies too send with dad to work, and send off to friends. This years favorite new cookie is the corn meal cookies. We made Hawaiian bread, gingersnaps, decorated sugar cookies, and cheddar crisps with our new cookie gun.

What a Great 2nd Birthday!!

Sitting in his new handmade train chair!

Eating pizza with Dad at the "Night to Believe" event- South Carolina State Museum...





Sitting with mom while they read "Polar Express"...then we watched the movie on the big screen! Maol's new favorite movie! He was on the edge of his seat the whole time - Trains!



Meeting up with Santa (yet again). Ran right up this time and jumped in his lap! Introduced him to dad and asked him for...you guessed it...Trains!

Denver trip...2007 (cont.)

We went to see Santa at the Children's Museum and we liked him better than the mall Santa. Showed him some trucks, and just chilled!





Lucas wasn't so much for this Santa, I guess that when you see one...ya seen em' all! I think maol is wondering why Penny isn't sitting on Santa's lap and telling him what she wants for Christmas!

We still always had time for brushing and a book every night!

Denver Trip...2007

Denver trip was loads of fun! Mornings were kinda mellow...hit the bottle early and got ready for the daily shopping trip, ride to see Santa, playing at friends houses, etc. Lucas always says a little warm milk hits the spot early in the morning! We miss Lucas!What a little angel that little Avery Kaitlin is! Love to snuggle that wee one! 4 weeks now, and growing bigger every day! Look at the fat roll under the chin!
