Merry Christmas!

Winter Wonderland

The first snow

Charlie and his cousin headed outside to enjoy their first playtime in the snow. Uncle Jon was kind enough to pull them around the house despite the freezing temps.

A few more Thanksgiving pics

Charlie quite enjoyed the plethora of desserts at Grandma's house. We realized, though, that he thinks "pie" refers to the whipped cream and not the pastry. When we ask him if he wants pie, he starts clapping and smiling from ear to ear.

Grandpa shares some secrets with Charlie.

We had so much snow in Cherry Creek it took the work of three men to clean off the car.

Bathtime for Baby 'Melia.

When it comes to donuts, dad always says...

one is never enough.

Looks like all Charlie really needed was a sample of each one.

Here are Mom and I showing off our abundance of homemade donuts, pretty good for a first attempt. Despite Charlie's best efforts, we had a few leftover...

Visit from the Grands

Charlie and Amelia enjoyed a visit from Grandpa and Grandma Adams over the Thanksgiving holiday week. Amelia was "spoiled" with lots of snuggling and Charlie got a few (ahem) new toys!

What's cookin?

Lately, Charlie is always interested in what Mom's doing in the kitchen and, of course, he wants to help!

Our little chef (apron and hat courtesy of Grandma A) looks innocent enough. However, if you notice, the lid to the breadmaker is lying next to the machine. It was previously attached to the machine. Aghh!

"It's all about the basting Mom."

We leave Charlie alone in the kitchen for a few minutes...and look what happens.
