We had a very desirable, low key, restful Christmas and New Year.  Here are some highlights…

Making the chocolate cake for Christmas Dinner

All ready for Xmas Eve at the 5Ws house in his “Christmas” kilt. If we get him a sash in his other tartan, he’ll look like a Christmas cookie! (Because the other tartan is red.)

One of our many holiday parties. (The Third M fully understands that when we’re going to a “party” there are lots of people to flirt with and lots of food that he can reach.)

Winterfest in Washington Park with his “Russian girlfriend” whom we’ll dub “Miss A”.

Follow me, Miss A, I know the way to Santa…

Miss A and the third M have a rollicking good time together where ever they go. When he’s near her, he even starts to say “Da”. Very cute!

He also discovered icicles! Yum! (And stores them in his car seat for later…)

The 2nd & 3rd M were home the week of New Years and they visited the Zoo twice. The 3rd M, who is part Polar Bear, was not deterred by the sub-freezing weather. He loved the “Gatos” (Cats) growing and the Holler Monkeys roaring as well as all sorts of other animals.

But his favorite excursion was “Noon Years Eve” at the Children’s Museum, not for the ball dropping, but for the train ride….”More, mommie, More….” Sorry, kid….

Happy New Year, everyone!
