A Sunday afternoon video chat with Nana and Grampa Holt from inside the Thomas tent.

Noah wanted to see if he would be tall enough to go into the play area at Ikea.

In his boots he was tall enough, but then he decided that chilling with me would be more fun.

Until I left him alone in the cart to go ask a question.

Later we walked over to see Benoit, Julia, and Louis.

The boys had an intimate dinner.

Then some play time.

Noah’s working on his graffiti tag.

We had a great time, but it got late quick.

Thanks for having us Benoit and Julia!

Early morning, trying to buy some time. It never works.

Especially on Christmas Day!

Noah opening everything in his path.

Including a stuffed falcon…

…and his first snowboard!!

…and a horse cake that he asked Aunt Mindy for over Thanksgiving.

Friendly dogs.

Gear testing.

Later, at Uncle Wayne and Aunt Patty’s.

Back at Nana and Grampa’s house, two little monkeys jumping on the bed.

Jaycee!

Celebrating Nana Holts birthday.

Winding down.

Brunch with Ryan and Ellen

On Sunday, Ryan and Ellen had a bunch of us over for brunch. We got there the same time as this family of ninjas (Mark, Jen, and Lou).

Veronica was slow to warm up to the party.

The boys dug into Ryan’s Lego collection.

Cookies got Veronica into it.

Right before we left, Noah smacked his forehead and cheek into a nightstand…

He recovered well. Thanks for having us Ryan and Ellen!
