Random Mess

Here's a quick look back at a few highlights in December. Unfortunately, for some of the events, I only took videos, and those will have to wait.

Blurry, but the only picture I have of Grant smiling AND stopped. He's in his new Thomas the Tank Engine robe. His new wagon.

And, of course, his new trains.

I LOVE Christmas at the Zoo (and Holiday Trainland). A Family Picture outside at the Zoo... no one looks too hot! Grant had so many layers on, he couldn't even put down his arms. Too cute!

Trainland... enough said. It was a winner in Grant's book.
NeNe and Papoo might not love trains, but they love their Grant.


Not a hat person. Or a zoo person. Or a zoo person in frigid temps. But, most definitely, not a hat person.

For those interested (I assume about one person), here are the ornaments from this year's ornament exchange.

Bret's gift to Erin (in honor of our Key West Hospitalization Extravaganza):

Erin's gift to Bret (in honor of our long drive through Rte 66 Missouri):

Mommy and Daddy's gifts to Grant (do we need to explain?):

Grant's gift to Mommy and Daddy (our first homemade one... I could die):

Off to the Car and Auto Show... nothing says Happy New Year like new cars we won't buy.
