Christmas at Nana and Papa'a

What great weather for playing outside. Boy was it nice to have plenty of snow to spend Christmas day outdoors and sledding. The only downfall was that Dana had to work otherwise the whole crew would have been home for the holidays. Liesl now loves the sled and sledding. Once again What a Wonderful Life (I can't say it enough).

It's a Wonderful Life

Here are Dave and Liesl playing in the snow yesterday evening. We have some lovely lights in our trees to light an area for night fun outside. We feel so grateful to all of our family and friends for making this holiday season so wonderful. We truly feel like we lead a charmed life.
Happy Holidays
Namaste from Dave and Jodie and Mamatee from Liesl

Baf, Baf (translation-bath)

Liesl loves baths so much that if you say the word "bath" she imediately runs upstairs to the bath.Thus we have begun calling the "bath" the aquatic experience in her presence. Here is an example of her love of the white thing that holds water, used to clean dirt and food off of one's body. Oh Dave forgot to turn the light on as they head up the stairs, this is not some fancy fade out technique.

Yum Yum!

Hey, feeding myself is not as hard as everyone says!!

Playing in the Snow

We are so excited to have snow (and lots of it) already this winter, it is a nice change from the past few years. Liesl really loves snowmen (particularly Frosty). However she has taken a couple of face plants in the snow and does not think that is very neat. So now she likes looking at the snow but really dislikes the sled and standing in the snow. I think the love will come back as soon as we have some sticky snow to make a snowman in our yard.
