Our best wishes for a happy, and healthy, New Year!

Random pics from Christmas week 2010

So nice to have L home!!

The cat climber also serves as a very nice playground for the critters :)

Hazel is crawling like a "HUGE DINOSAUR!" - "Come on Grammy, crawl!" I will not post the picture that Ryan kindly took of me crawling down the hall.

Happy Birthday, Auntie Laura!!

Sweet Hazel :)

This is what I saw after saying good-byes to Katie:)

R is holding up the fort nicely while Melissa is in Ireland :)

Just before K left-

If you give a pig a pancake....

Random Christmas photos 2010

My personal favorite..

1957..

needed a cat "fix" even back then-

Christmas circa 1957- complete with BB gun, cowboy outfits, cap guns, and then .."girl" gifts. :)

Ryan's Birthday~

Helping Daddy celebrate his 35th birthday! Is that even possible???????

when it comes right down to it.. is there anything funnier than escaping without your clothes on?

Goodnight Sweet Hazel :)

cleaning proved to be too much for Burt-

and visions of sugarplums danced in his head..

Getting ready for Christmas..

Holiday open house at the mom's place (above)

Fun decorating the house! (below)

Dinner with Nana :)

love these boys!

It isn't Christmas till the dog chats with Santa :)

A day with Sweet Hazel~

The nesting dolls were given names, and roles to play with the frog :)

Hazel cracks jokes now!!
(albeit somewhat primitive jokes, but actually funny)

love this baby's imagination!!

taking a snack break :)
Hazel loved to copy everything Burt did-

The ultimate humiliation for a dog.. forcible grooming by the cats.

Dinner and game night!
