Burrito

James is a good big brother (until you're old enough to be teased, then watch out) and plays with Isi. Here he makes her a burrito.

Sibling adventures

For outdoor cats, they are indoor a lot

Book-loving buddies

Random

Isi likes to wear a backpack and carry a lantern and a cup. She's ready for hiking?

Nora is loving reading these books to us. It's fun to see her master it.

Stacks of books

These two decided to collect stacks of books and go through them. There was hardly any fighting!

Bedtime

Nora was reading to Grandma, and James was giving Isi piggyback rides, but now Grandma has to read to Max and James is calming Isi for bed with books too.

More snow

They have built forts, snow villages, and sledded all week. A good Christmas break!

Snow fun

Grandpa gets exercise

Isi happy, Isi cranky

Not sure why the ballerina is pouty, but she's still pretty cute.

Snow walk

Grandma and Grandpa and Nora went to the mailbox with some helpers. The day before, Justin hadn't plowed yet and it was a real trek, so this was simple by comparison.

Snow

We got about 8 inches of snow and have had a good time with it.

No beach, so Lucy buried James in snow.

Tessa and I made a snow kitten called Loki or maybe Mittens.

Kitten trouble

Loki is glad it's still Christmas 

Shoveling

Max isn't so into sledding. He likes to shovel the yard.

Sledding

There's just enough snow left to sled in the yard.

Bunnies

Today is the feast of St Elizabeth Ann Seton, Nora's name day. We're going to have sliders, but her main request was that the bunnies come to the rosary.

Harry would really like to get closer to Snowball.

Fun with grandma

Yes, many plastic bags from legos were cropped from these pictures.

Max graciously allowed his grandparents to sit on the floor and build marble run with him.
