Christmas ' 10, Part 2

Literally...tugging on Mama's apron strings.

There is ALWAYS something going on in that pretty little head of hers.

Pillow pet...very soft.

Tilly and Jameson.

So perfectly wonderful and beautiful.

Christmas 2010, Tilly's Second Christmas (Part 1)

Merry Christmas morning, beautiful girl. This is Tilly's laptop she's opening.

The third or fourth differently sized Elmo she's got now.

She sits at the table with me when I am on my laptop and works along side me.

I call this one "Optimism". That's Emma's new electric carving knife she's using there. Annie and Phisher best mind their behaviour or the knife may accidentally slip away from the ham.

Scenes from the Last Three Days: Snowmaggedon 2010

Making Christmas cookies with Mom.

It mostly all made it into the mixing bowl.

Emma captured this dramatic scene outside our front door today.

My Little Snow Angel

The Holidays Are Beginning. Reindeer Rides? Check. Christmas Tree? Check

Being a kid in Minnesota in winter takes on its own form.

Bump.

Mischief.

Tilly needed a moment to herself, overwhelmed by the choice in trees.

The Walker - Inside

Tilly trying to get the right angle on the man with the airplanes.

Modern schmodern.

Blue. Very blue.

She = So unbelievably beautiful. Me = So lucky.

The Walker-Outside

We went to the Walker yesterday to check out the Alec Soth exhibit. First, we headed outside to the Sculpture Garden...THEN Tilly returned inside to give all the docents some heartburn.

Crock

Thanksgiving

Most of the emphasis was on Jameson (and Tilly).

Aeh-Pae (A.K.A. Airplane)

We broke down and gave Tilly one of her Christmas presents early.

Children's Museum II

We went to The Bulldog after the museum. We learned that loud pubs are great for kids, because they can scream all they want and they won't disturb others.
